Adam Garner

Adam Garner (born December 7, 1984, England) is a semi-professional footballer. He currently plays for Bedford Town in the Southern League Premier Division after leaving previous teams Chippenham Town, Nationwide Conference side Forest Green Rovers, and Oxford United. He plays either left back, right back or centre back.

He was a trainee and professional with Oxford United and has had experience with Conference club Gravesend & Northfleet. He joined Chippenham Town in July 2006.

In February 2007 Adam Garner became famous for becoming the first ever British football player to be owned by a commercial brand. Eidos Interactive, developers of Championship Manager, discovered that Bedford's manager, Nick Plautener, was using the game to scout players. Because the player was too expensive, the brand stepped in and held talks with the defender. The deal, which included an immediate loan to Bedford Town, was signed on 6 February 2007. [Citation
