Steve Phillips (born 6 May 1978 in Bath) is a football goalkeeper who currently plays for Bristol Rovers F.C..
The Westcountry goalkeeper began his career in Non-League with Paulton Rovers F.C. and then earned a big move to Bristol City where he went on to play 250 league appearances for the Ashton Gate outfit.
However, after an alleged falling out with City boss Gary Johnson he was replaced from the first team by Adriano Basso early into the 2005/06 season. Despite being in his testimonial season Phillips never figured regulary again for City.
In the summer of 2006 Phillips moved across the city to bitter rivals Bristol Rovers F.C.. This was after Phillips made a "come and get me" plea to Swindon Town manager Dennis Wise through ex-City team mate Lee Peacock. Wise chose to pursue Petr Brezovan instead.
Since ousting Scott Shearer as Rovers' number one - Rovers have endured a shakey start to the 2006/07 season with Phillips earning much praise despite the poor team form.
