About Steve

Steve is the former Rebels club-captain who signed for Slough from fellow Ryman League side Boreham Wood in February 1999 for a four-figure fee.

It came as no coincidence that the club went on to keep six consecutive clean sheets in the League upon securing Daly's signature. As a player, Steve was one of the first names on the Rebels teamsheet and went on to have a ten-year association with the club, experiencing all the highs and lows following the club's demotion from the Conference in 1998. He was aerially dominant and led from the back, providing wisdom for the younger players around him.

Daly celebrated his 250th Rebels appearance in style, winning the Bryco Cup Final against Hampton & Richmond in April 2005 in front of a crowd of over 750 supporters at Wheatsheaf Park in Staines, and completed his 300th appearance for the club in the final league match of the 05/06 season at home to Heybridge.

However undoubtedly the biggest highlight in Steve's time at the club would have been captaining the side to a famous 2-1 win over League One side Walsall, then managed by Paul Merson, at Stag Meadow in 2004. In total, Steve made 378 Rebels appearances and left the club in 2009 during Derek Sweetman's tenure as manager to seek first-team football at Beaconsfield SYCOB.
