Ian Martin Juryeff (born 24 November 1962) is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward for various Football League clubs in the 1980s and 1990s. He started his career as a trainee with Southampton, but only made two substitute appearances in the First Division in 1983 before being released. After several loan spells, he then had a ten-year career in the lower leagues, including over four years at Orient.
After ceasing to play in the Football League, he qualified as a sports scientist and was employed as a community football development officer, while continuing to play non-League football on a part-time basis. He then became a coach, working with youth teams at Southampton and Chelsea. Since April 2012, he has been first-team trainer and technical director at minor French club, US Gonnehem from the Pas-de-Calais department.[1]
Juryeff was born in Gosport and attended Bridgemary School.[2] He joined Southampton as an associate schoolboy in December 1977, before being taken on as an apprentice in August 1979, following which he signed his first professional contract in February 1980.[2] He made his debut for the reserve team on 21 October 1980, when he scored in a 5–3 victory over Crystal Palace, after which he was a regular in the reserves, scoring eight goals from 13 appearances in 1980–81.[3]
With the "Saints" having finished as runners-up in the First Division in 1980–81 with players such as Kevin Keegan, Mick Channon and David Armstrong, there were no first-team opportunities for Juryeff and he continued to play in the reserves, with 16 goals from 27 appearances in 1981–82.[3] In 1982, he switched to a more defensive role and made 37 appearances in 1982–83, mainly as a defensive midfielder, only scoring three goals.[3]
His versatility earned him the place as substitute for the first-team and he made his debut at Coventry City on 26 November 1983 as a 77th minute replacement for midfielder Steve Williams who had been injured by a head-butt from Stephen Hunt, for which Hunt was sent-off. Juryeff's next appearance came four days later, at Leicester City, when he replaced Mark Dennis in defence.[4]
Juryeff remained with Southampton until February 1985, but spent spells on loan to IFK Munkfors in Sweden, and then at Mansfield Town from March to May 1984, followed by a loan to Reading from November 1984 to January 1985.[2]
Juryeff joined Orient in February 1985, then of the Football League Third Division.[2] Juryeff was unable to prevent Orient being relegated at the end of the season, although they were promoted back via the play-offs in 1989. Juryeff remained at the Brisbane Road club for years, scoring 45 goals from 111 League appearances.[5] In February 1989, he had a short period on loan to Ipswich Town for whom he made two substitute appearances.[6]
In August 1989, he joined Halifax Town but was sold to Hereford United in December 1989 for a fee of £50,000.[7] He remained with Hereford for nine months, before being transferred back to Halifax for the same fee,[7] a record transfer fee paid by Halifax Town.[8]
His Football League career finished with Darlington (from August 1992 to August 1993) and Scunthorpe United (from August 1993 to March 1995).[2]
He then played for several non-league clubs on a part-time basis, including Farnborough Town,[9] Fareham Town, Havant Town, Weston Super Mare, Newport (IOW) and Bashley, where he ended his playing career in 1999.[2]
After retiring from full-time football, Juryeff studied at Farnborough College of Technology from where he graduated with a degree in Sports Science,[2] going on to qualify as a UEFA Level Four coach.[10] In 1997, he was appointed the Assistant Community Officer at Charlton Athletic before taking up the post of Community Football Development Office at Southampton in September 1997.[2]
In July 2003, Juryeff was appointed head coach at Bath City of the Southern League Premier Division under manager Alan Pridham[11] but resigned six weeks later, for "personal reasons".[12]
He then returned to Southampton, where he became a youth coach at the Saints Academy, working with players such as Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, before joining Chelsea in 2009 as a Community Coach, also working with the under-19 women's team.[13]
In April 2012, he was appointed first-team trainer and technical director at minor French club, US Gonnehem from the Pas-de-Calais department.[1] [14]
