Mark McCammon

Mark Jason McCammon (born 7 August 1978) is a former professional footballer who played as a striker. Born in England, he represented the Barbados national team at international level.

After starting his career with Cambridge United in 1997, two years later he moved on to Charlton Athletic. In 2000, he was loaned out to Swindon Town, before signing with Brentford. He found regular football at Brentford, before departing for Millwall in 2003. Two years later he transferred to Brighton & Hove Albion, following a short loan period. Loaned out to Bristol City in 2006, he later moved on to Doncaster Rovers. He switched to Gillingham in 2008, where he remained for the next three years. He also played on loan for Bradford City in 2010. In October 2011, he signed for Braintree Town.

McCammon played six games for Cambridge United on a non-contract basis between August 1997 and March 1999. He played a minimal role in the club's promotion out of the Third Division in 1998–99.

He signed for Premier League Charlton Athletic in March 1999, and played five games for the Addicks following their relegation into the First Division. He was also loaned out to struggling Swindon Town in January 2000, also of the First Division, and played four games before his return to The Valley.

McCammon signed for Second Division Brentford in July 2000 for a fee of almost £100,000. He scored six goals in 33 games during his first season with the club.

Limited to fourteen league appearances in 2001–02, he was a seventieth-minute substitute for Ben Burgess in the 2002 play-off final, though his team lost the game 2–0 to Stoke City.

He posted 41 appearances in 2002–03, also bagging nine goals. However, he did not finish the season at Brentford, as he joined First Division Millwall in March.

He made only seven appearances in 2003–04. Instead his season was most notable for a clash with sixteen-year-old teammate Moses Ashikodi, who reportedly threatened McCammon with a plastic knife. The club launched an investigation into the events, and the following month, Ashikodi left the club by mutual consent. McCammon went on to make a substitute appearance in the 2004 FA Cup Final, coming on for Neil Harris after 75 minutes, as Millwall lost 3–0 to Manchester United.
