About Paul Underwood
- Paul Underwood (born 16 August 1973) is a former professional footballer.
- He previously played for Football League Two club Luton Town. Underwood began his career with Carshalton Athletic, and after spells at Sutton United, Dorking and Molesey, he moved to Enfield.
- After a year at Enfield he joined Rushden & Diamonds for £50,000 in the summer of 1997.
- He made over 200 appearances during his time at Nene Park, and during this period he captained the club in the Football Conference and Football League Two title-winning campaigns. Underwood was signed by Luton Town in March 2004, but was injured just 19 minutes into his debut – two days after joining the club.
- The injury forced him to miss the remainder of the 2003–04 season. He had a superb season during the 2004–05 campaign as the Hatters won the Football League One Championship, with Underwood playing mainly on the left-wing.
- The 2005–06 season saw Underwood used as a utility player, operating at left-back, left midfield, central midfield and central defence as Luton finished a respectable 10th in The Championship. Underwood suffered massively during the 2006–07 season in The Championship, as a routine knee operation during the pre-season period caused a blood infection, leading to Underwood losing over two stone in weight.
- The effects forced him to miss the entire season, and he had to watch from the sidelines as Luton were relegated. Despite not playing a game the previous season, Underwood had shown enough ability during his two years at Kenilworth Road to persuade then Hatters boss Mike Newell to give him a new two-year contract, which he duly signed, keeping him at Luton until the summer of 2009.Underwood, however, never made a full recovery from his illness, and spent his last two seasons without playing a single game for Luton.
- On 1 October 2008, Underwood opted to leave Luton Town owing to injury.He currently plays for Harefield United in the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division.
