Stacy Coldicott (born 29 April 1974 in Redditch) is a retired English footballer, who notably played for Grimsby Town and West Bromwich Albion.

Stacy came through the youth ranks at West Brom and was added added to the squad in 1992. The short, bald player who operates in the centre of midfielder also had a brief loan spell with Cardiff City, featured for The Baggies until 1998, where he signed by former Baggies manager Alan Buckley at Grimsby Town .

Coldicott was only one of two signings for the newly promoted and highly successful squad of 1998, with himself and Lee Ashcroft being the only new additions to an already strong squad. In Coldicottt's first season with the club, The Mariners were unlucky to miss out on a play-off spot in the First Division after they had pushed for promotion to the Premiership, but due to poor results in the later part of the season, The Mariners dropped into a final birth of 11th position.

He continued to play his part in the Grimsby squad , and despite the odd injury he was never out of the main first team plans with the club. He made some great partnerships in his positions notably with Paul Groves ,Alan Pouton ,Kevin Donovan and Wayne Burnett. Stace continued to feature under every manager he played under, and played in three divisions for The Mariners, staying in the squad in its demise.

In his final season with Grimsby, the 2004/2005 season, Coldicott was noted as one of the weaker players in the side, his midfielder partnership with Terry Fleming was described as on its last legs. Russell Slade released Coldicott in the summer of 2005, and he moved to join Conference club Hereford United.

Stace struggled to find form, or a place in the Hereford squad and after a brief loan spell with Cambridge United , Coldicott was released, despite earning promotion to the football league with Hereford.

In the new season, he signed for lowly non league club Armthorpe Welfare and played out the entire 2006/2007 campaign with the small Yorkshire outift before leaving at the end of the season. In June 2007, Stacy joined up with Grantham Town , and played in the Gingerbreads pre season friendlies, and played a part in the clubs 1-0 defeat against his former club Grimsby. However despite being offered a contract, Coldicott decided to retire from football, and concentrate on his new job as a firefighter. He also recently co-founded a football scouting website.

Stacy is also the former husband of Big Brother 4 contestant Stephanie Coldicott.
