Steven Caldwell (born
September 12,
1980 in
Stirling) is a
Scottish footballer. He currently plays as a
defender for
Championship side
Burnley. He was released by his first club
Newcastle United in
2004, having previously been loaned out, and joined local rivals
Sunderland.
Caldwell is known for his whole hearted approach to the game and the solid partnership formed with
Gary Breen whilst they both played for Sunderland. On
April 23,
2005, he scored Sunderland's winning goal against
Leicester City to send his team back to the
Premiership.
He is a
Scottish international, although he's behind his younger brother,
Gary of
Celtic (Stephen Caldwell was a Celtic supporter in his youth), in the international pecking order.
In an interview alongside his brother Gary in Newcastle United fanzine "True Faith" in 2003, Caldwell was asked whether if no longer wanted at Newcastle, he'd ever consider joining arch-rivals Sunderland, and answered with a resounding no, saying he valued the support Newcastle fans had given him and said he whilst he may have to leave Newcastle at some point,he would never join Sunderland. As a result of this, his 2004 transfer to rivals Sunderland was seen as a major betrayal, and he's since been ridiculed and criticised by Newcastle fans.
An injury-plagued season saw Caldwell fall out of favour at Sunderland and the centre half rarely featured in
Roy Keane's first team when fit. He was linked with a move away from the club - with Sunderland accepting bids from Championship rivals Burnley and
Coventry City. Caldwell signed for Burnley for £400,000 with just 9 minutes of the transfer window remaining. He was shortly thereafter named club captain and endeared himself to the team's fans with his uncompromising tackling and commitment.
