Mark John Fleming (born 11 August 1969) is a retired English professional football left back who played in the Football League for Brentford and Queens Park Rangers.[1]

Career

Queens Park Rangers

Fleming began his career as a left back at Division One side Queens Park Rangers, making two appearances during the 1987–88 season. He also made an appearance in Rangers' 1988 President's Cup campaign.[2] After just one appearance during the 1988–89 season, Fleming departed Loftus Road.[1]

Brentford

Fleming joined Division Three side Brentford in July 1989.[3] He deputised for the injured Roger Stanislaus during the 1989–90 season and after the departure of Stanislaus in 1990, Fleming was expected to make the left back position his own in 1990–91.[1] He failed to secure a place in the team and was replaced by loanees Stuart Cash and Jim Carstairs.[1] Fleming rejected a monthly contract and departed at the end of the 1990–91 season,[4] having made 45 appearances and scored one goal during his two years at Griffin Park.[1]

Farnborough Town

After his release from Brentford, Fleming dropped into non-league football and joined Conference side Farnborough Town.[1] In 1992 he joined divisional rivals Woking and later played for Isthmian League Premier Division sides Aylesbury United and Staines Town, captaining the latter club.[5]
