Neville Patrick Chamberlain (born 22 January 1960) is a retired English footballer. His brother, Mark was also a footballer, and his nephew Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain plays for Arsenal.

Playing career

Chamberlain – the older brother of England international Mark Chamberlain – became the first black player to sign professional forms for Port Vale when he put pen to paper in January 1978, having made his debut on New Year's Eve. With 11 goals in the 1979–80 season and 13 in the 1980–81 season he was the club's top scorer two seasons running. However he suffered a decline in form and was sold to rivals Stoke City in September 1982 for a £40,000 fee. He had played 158 games (141 in the league) for the Vale and scored 41 goals (32 in the league). As well as Stoke, he played for Newport County (on loan), Plymouth Argyle, Mansfield Town, Doncaster Rovers, Stafford Rangers, Worksop Town, Shepshed Charterhouse, Matlock Town, Leek Town and Rocester.[1]

Post retirement

He worked as an agent for his brother Mark, and also worked as assistant manager at Alsager Town and manager of Hanley Town. When the pair played together for Port Vale they used to swap shirts at half-time so as to confuse opposition players attempting to mark his brother.[2]
