Brendan John Guest (born 19 December 1958) is an English former professional footballer who made 104 appearances in the Football League playing for Lincoln City as a right back.[2] With Forest Green Rovers, he won the 1982 FA Vase at Wembley.

Life and career

Guest was born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, and began his football career as an apprentice with Lincoln City.[2] He turned professional with that club, and made his senior debut on 11 December 1976, just before his 18th birthday, in an FA Cup tie against Nuneaton Borough. He went on to play 116 matches, scoring twice, in all competitions.[1] Guest joined Swindon Town in June 1980, but was released at the end of the season without having appeared for the first team,[3] and moved into non-league football with Forest Green Rovers.[2]

Guest was a member of the Forest Green team that won the Hellenic League in the 1981–82 season, thus gaining promotion to the Southern League,[4] and won the 1982 FA Vase, defeating Rainworth Miners Welfare 3–0 at Wembley.[5] He was one of three players booked in the Vase final for "over-exuberant tackles".[6]
