Scott Anthony Bevan (born 19 September 1979 in Southampton, England) is a former professional footballer currently employed as the goalkeeping coach at Portsmouth; he last played for Conference South side Havant & Waterlooville.
Bevan started his football career with Southampton as an associated schoolboy player before turning professional in 1997. He never made a first team appearance for Southampton although he did get experience out on loan at Ayr United, Stoke City, Woking (on two separate occasions),Huddersfield Town and Wycombe Wanderers.
In March 2004, Bevan joined Milton Keynes Dons from Southampton and went on make 19 appearances over two seasons. Out of favour at the start of the 2005–06 season, he trained with Scarborough with a view to a possible loan move in October 2005. However, later that month he joined Conference National side Tamworth on loan. He put in memorable performances in Tamworth's FA Cup run whilst on-loan with The Lambs, which included victories over league sides Bournemouth and Hartlepool United and two ties against Stoke City in the third round. As interest from several League Clubs for his signature mounted, unfortunately his career and life were turned upside down after he sustained a serious kidney injury in a league fixture at Forest Green Rovers in January 2006. After undergoing an operation to remove a kidney that left many thinking he might never play competitive football again, Bevan showed remarkable recovery and resilience to once again make himself available.
