Ian Brett Culverhouse (born 22 September 1964 in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire), is an English former professional footballer and current first-team manager at Kings Lynn Town. He was a defender who played in the position of right-back. In May 2014 he was sacked following suspension from his duties as Assistant Manager of Aston Villa.
Culverhouse began his career with Tottenham Hotspur. He found first team opportunities limited there and made just two league appearances for the club, though he did get a winner's medal in the UEFA Cup as he was an unused substitute for Spurs in the 1984 final against Anderlecht.
In October 1985, Norwich City manager Ken Brown paid £50,000 for Culverhouse, who would go on to spend ten years at Carrow Road. At the time Culverhouse joined Norwich, they were in the Second Division and were favourites to win promotion to Division One. They duly did so, and Culverhouse ended his first season at Carrow Road with a division two Championship medal.
For a while during the 1986-87 season, Culverhouse found himself dropped from the first team in favour of the manager's son Kenny Brown. But Culverhouse regained his first team place and attained a level of performance and consistency that made him a fixture in the starting eleven for the best part of a decade. He was part of some of the greatest moments in the club's history - the 1988-89 season that saw Norwich come close to winning the League and FA Cup double, the 1992-93 campaign when the Canaries finished third in the inaugural season of the FA Premier League and the subsequent European campaign of 1993-94. Culverhouse acquitted himself well on the European stage, though he missed the away leg at Inter Milan's Giuseppe Miazza stadium - the match that saw City eliminated from the UEFA Cup - due to suspension, having picked up two yellow cards in the competition.
