Biographical Text
Steve Perryman and Scott Hiley took temporary charge of Exeter City's first-team in October 2004 between the departure of Eamonn Dolan and the arrival of Alex Inglethorpe. Filling the gap for eleven days, the pair oversaw two drawn games.
City were in the second season of playing in the Conference when Eamonn Dolan, who had been appointed in June 2003 to replace Gary Peters at the time of the transfer from private to supporter-ownership, left the club to take an academy role with Reading.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and England player Steve Perryman was City's director of football at the time and, at the age of fifty-two, had previously managed Brentford, Watford, Spurs (on a similar caretaker basis) and clubs in Japan. Living in Devon, he had been involved in a takeover bid for the club in advance of Ivor Doble's impending departure in 2002 and remained in the role of director of football until 2018.
The 36-year-old Scott Hiley was in his second spell as an Exeter City player having been a member of Division Four championship-winning team in 1990. In between he had appeared for Birmingham, Manchester City, Southampton and Portsmouth but did not pursue a managerial career after retiring. He finally played his last game for the Grecians in 2006 after making his debut in 1987.
