Steve Massey (born 28 March 1958 in Denton, Lancashire) is an English football manager and former player who played as a striker, mainly for and A.F.C. Bournemouth. He was manager of Southern League club Truro City until March 2014.
Massey scored on his league debut for Stockport County in a 2–1 home win over Darlington on 28 February 1975, and went on to make 114 appearances for the club in all competitions before joining Bournemouth in 1978. Signing for Peterborough United in 1981, he made his league debut in a 1–0 win over Mansfield Town on 29 August, and made 20 league appearances before signing for Northampton Town the following year.
In 1983, Massey transferred to Hull City for £50,000, before moving on to Cambridge United and then Wrexham, for whom he played in the 1986–87 European Cup Winners' Cup. He scored three goals in the 7–0 aggregate win over Żurrieq in September and October 1986, and another in the 2–2 draw against Real Zaragoza on 5 November.
He finished his playing career in Cornwall with South Western Football League side Truro City, and subsequently went on to manage the club.
Massey managed Truro from 1992–94, before moving to Devon to concentrate on his business interests, although he took the job of managing the Cornish representative team and guided them to two South West Counties Championship finals. He later managed Falmouth Town and returned for a second spell at Truro City between 2005–06. In 2010 he became manager of South West Peninsula League club Buckland Athletic, but was sacked after a few months. He then took on the managerial role at Bovey Tracey in 2011 but had to step down later in the year due to his son's illness. During his time at Bovey Tracey, he was in talks with Tiverton Town about a role there as director of football.
