Scott Malcolm Vernon (born 13 December 1983) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for League Two club Grimsby Town.
Born in Manchester, Greater Manchester, Vernon began his career at Oldham Athletic where he was most notable for a goal he scored in the FA Cup that knocked Premier League team Manchester City out in the third round. He was a popular player under Iain Dowie but struggled to find a game with both Brian Talbot, who loaned him to Blackpool, and then Ronnie Moore, who swapped him for Blackpool midfielder Richie Wellens in 2005.
During his first season at Blackpool, Vernon went on loan to Colchester United as he struggled to establish himself. During Blackpool's promotion season in 2006–07, he struggled to nail down a starting place and was third-choice striker behind the prolific Andy Morrell and Keigan Parker. In the championship, he managed to score 4 goals, two of which came against Colchester United. Due to the signings of Alan Gow and Steve Kabba, he found himself pushed out of the team, rejoining Colchester United, this time on a permanent deal.
