About Steve Tilson

Stephen Brian Tilson is an English football manager and former player. Tilson is best known for his time in charge of Southend United, where he was in charge for seven years, overseeing two promotions and later two relegations. During the 1990s, Tilson appeared in just under 250 matches and played in the side that won two consecutive promotions in the early part of the decade. Also in the same season, Tilson led Southend to the first ever national cup final in the club's history, losing to Blackpool 2–0 in the Football League Trophy Final. In his first game Lincoln drew 0–0 but Tilson brought in four promising loan signings, and went on to get a good away result against Wycombe, with many signs of improvement.
