He was a centre back. Osman played senior international football for England, for whom he received eleven caps.

Playing career

Osman was born in Repton, Derbyshire, the son of Rex Osman who played a handful of games for Derby County in the early 1950s. Russell Osman played nearly 400 games for Ipswich Town and represented his country 11 times.[1][2] His first England cap came against Australia in a friendly on 31 May 1980, his last on 21 September 1983 in England's 1-0 Euro 84 qualifying match defeat to Denmark.[3]

Management career

Later in his playing career he was player-manager of Bristol City, and had a brief spell as caretaker manager of Plymouth Argyle[4] before later managing Cardiff City. He had a brief role as joint caretaker manager of Bristol Rovers in 2004.[1] In November 2007, he was appointed as assistant manager to Paul Tisdale at Exeter City.[5] In February 2011 he was appointed coach of the Ipswich Town Under 18's.[6] He left the role in August 2013.[7] In July 2015 Osman joined Newport County as assistant manager to Terry Butcher. Butcher, Osman and Steve Marsalla were sacked on 1 October 2015 with Newport bottom of league two after gaining just 5 points from the first 10 matches of the 2015-16 season.[8]

He also played one of the prisoner-of-war footballers in Escape to Victory. The 1981 film also included soccer legend Pelé, American actor Sylvester Stallone, British actor Michael Caine and ex-soccer player Ossie Ardiles. The film was based on a game between an Allied team and a Nazi German team during World War II.
