Cockerill began his career at non-league Louth United, and made his name in the professional game at Lincoln City. He also played for Swindon Town and Sheffield United before joining Southampton in October 1985. He left the Saints in December 1993, having made 358 appearances for the club in all competitions,[1] and later spent three seasons at Leyton Orient, before finishing his career with spells at Fulham and Brentford.
