Playing career edit

Club edit

He played his club football for Swansea City, Sunderland and Blackpool. He was a part of the Swansea team that won after a penalty shootout in the 1994 Football League Trophy Final.[1]

Managerial career edit

On 31 May 2012, Liverpool confirmed that three from Swansea City – assistant manager Pascoe, performance analyst Chris Davies and performance consultant Glen Driscoll – would join the club with immediate effect following manager Brendan Rodgers in a move to Liverpool.[2]

On 30 December 2012, Pascoe took charge of the Liverpool team against Q.P.R., as manager Brendan Rodgers had a virus. This was the second time Pascoe had taken over managerial duties, having previously taken charge against Arsenal whilst at Swansea. Liverpool won the game 3–0.[3]

In June 2015, Pascoe was sacked by Liverpool as assistant manager.[4] Since leaving Liverpool, Colin returned to Wales to spend more time with his family. In 2019 he oversaw the opening of a Rhyl branch of motorway services retailer Cotton Traders. He still works there to this day.
