He won the FA Cup Final with Southampton in 1976 and, from July 2002 to July 2009, was manager of Salisbury City. CareerHolmes was born in Southampton and educated at St. Mary's College. SouthamptonHe was an apprentice with Southampton in the early 1970s. He made his first team debut on 2 March 1974 away to Arsenal. A natural left-sided player, he was equally at home at full-back, midfield, centre-back or sweeper. A loyal one-club man, Holmes spent 14 years at The Dell. Naturally left-sided, he could play at left-back or midfield and was a thoughtful, yet thrusting, player who was as reliable as he was skilful. He played at left-midfield in the 1976 F.A. Cup Final against Manchester United which Saints won 1–0, and also played and scored in the 1979 League Cup final against Nottingham Forest, which was lost 2–3. Between these two Wembley appearances, he was an integral member of the Southampton team that gained promotion from Division 2 at the end of the 1977–78 season. An urbane man, he became club captain in March 1980, and on his 400th appearance for the club, Lawrie McMenemy praised his “reliability, dependability and flexibility”, adding that he was "a man for all seasons". Holmes was a constant when Southampton finished second in Division 1 in the 1983–84 season and was part of a midfield that was probably the best in the club's history. In 1986 (16 August) Saints recognised his loyalty by awarding him a testimonial match against John Mortimore's Benfica, which was won 4–1, with Holmes scoring one of the goals. International honours eluded Holmes, although he was picked for England under-23 only for injury to prevent him playing. His last appearance for Southampton was on 14 Feb 1987 at Tottenham Hotspur. A pelvic injury forced him to retire from the game in May 1987, by which time only Terry Paine and Mick Channon had made more appearances for the Saints. In total, he played 543 times for Southampton, scoring 64 goals. After SouthamptonAfter leaving Saints he spent the 1987–88 season with East Cowes Vics, before spending a season as coach back at Southampton working with manager Chris Nicholl. In 1989, he quit football and bought a general store at Winterslow near Salisbury. In 1999, he emigrated to Florida to set up a property management company, which he sold in 2004. Salisbury CityIn July 2002, he was tempted back into football when he was offered the manager's job at Salisbury City. Under Holmes' management, Salisbury gained promotion to the Conference South in the 2005–06 season by finishing top of the Southern League Premier Division, followed by winning the play-off final in the 2006–07 season to participate in the Conference Premier in 2007–08. In January 2008, following the departure of George Burley, Holmes was linked with a return to Southampton as manager. Although he was not offered the job, Holmes stated that Southampton was "the only club I'd leave Salisbury for".[1] He became Salisbury's general manager in July 2009, with Tommy Widdrington taking control of the first team.[2] Holmes left Salisbury on 14 July 2010 by mutual consent.
