Steven "Steve" Ogrizovic, nicknamed Oggy (born 12 September 1957 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire) is an English association football coach and former professional footballer, currently employed as goalkeeping coach of Football League One side Coventry City.
As a player he was a goalkeeper from 1977 until 2000 and achieved fame during 16 years at Coventry City (1984 to 2000). He holds the record at Coventry for the most appearances as a player at 601 in all competitions (504 in the league) and he played in the winning FA Cup team of 1987. He also played for Chesterfield, Liverpool and Shrewsbury Town.
He started his professional career at Chesterfield before moving to Liverpool and then Shrewsbury Town before joining Coventry for £72,500 in 1984. He was also selected to play for the Football League vs The Rest Of The World at Wembley in 1987.
During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ogrizovic was generally considered to be the best goalkeeper never to have won a full England cap. Although frequently considered for selection during this period by a number of England managers including Bobby Robson and Graham Taylor, he was never selected for the full squad. He was once considered to be selected for the Yugoslavian national side (due to his Yugoslavian parentage), in the late eighties, but he declined the offer.
