Scott Ramsay (born 16 October 1980) is an English footballer.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Scott Started his football career at Brighton & Hove Albion in 1999, making 2 goals in 35 appearances, 12 of which were first team starts. He had a 3-month loan spell at Yeovil Town in 2001[1] scoring 4 goals in 17 games. Followed by another loan spell at Bognor Regis.[2] Failing to make the first team Scott was released by Micky Adams after a breach of his contract[3] in 2001. On leaving Brighton & Hove Albion he joined Dover Athletic on a free transfer[4]

Non League

Ramsay played 13 games at Dover Athletic scoring only a single goal in a five-month spell before transferring back to East Sussex signing to Eastbourne Borough, who were then in the Southern League.[5]

In 2003, Brentford sparked an interest in signing Scott for £25,000 after scoring 33 goals in the 2002/2003 season. Ramsay took two training sessions with the Bees,[6] but Scott was reluctant to sign.[7]

In the six years at Eastbourne Borough, Scott bagged 135 goals in 283 appearances,[8][9] and helped the sussex side win the Sussex Senior Cup in 2002 and into the FA Cup first round in 2006[10][11] for the first time in the club's history. He also aided their rise into the Conference South football league and was part of the team that won a promotion into the Conference National league.[12]

In June 2008, Ramsay left Eastbourne Borough after failing to agree to a new contract, signing for Hastings United, who "beat off competition from several higher league sides", such as AFC Wimbledon and Havant & Waterlooville to sign the prolific striker.[13] Whilst at Hastings he converted to a central defensive role from his more familiar role as a striker.

In 2010, Ramsay moved to Rye United and played at the club until 2012.[14]
