As a player, he was a [[centre-back]] who played in the [[Premier League]] for [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] and [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] and in the [[Football League]] for [[Mansfield Town F.C.|Mansfield Town]], [[Swindon Town F.C.|Swindon Town]], [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] and [[Notts County F.C.|Notts County]].

Following retirement, he became manager of [[Northampton Town F.C.|Northampton Town]] in 2003, guiding the club to promotion in 2006. He then became manager of Nottingham Forest helping the club win promotion in 2008. Calderwood was sacked by Forest in December 2008 and then moved to [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]], working as first team coach. After a year with the Tyneside club, Calderwood became a manager again by moving to [[Hibernian F.C.|Hibernian]], but he was sacked after just over a year in that job. He was associated with [[Chris Hughton]] for several years, working as his assistant manager at Newcastle United, [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]], [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]] and [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton & Hove Albion]].

==Club career==

===Mansfield Town===
Despite being born and raised in the [[Stranraer]] area, Calderwood never played in the Scottish leagues.<ref name = "pleat">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/hibernian/9104362.stm |title=David Pleat hails new Hibernian boss Colin Calderwood |publisher=BBC Sport |date=18 October 2010 |access-date=22 October 2010}}</ref> He started his career in the lower reaches of [[The Football League]] in England, with [[Mansfield Town F.C.|Mansfield Town]].<ref name = "pleat"/><ref name=instil>{{cite web |url=https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/interview-hibs-manager-colin-calderwood-insists-he-s-in-for-the-long-haul-and-vows-to-instil-some-steel-in-a-fragile-team-1-1495046|title=Interview: Hibs manager Colin Calderwood insists he's in for the long haul and vows to instil some steel in a fragile team |work=[[The Scotsman]] |date=16 January 2011 |access-date=15 September 2018}}</ref> He played 100 league games for the club, three as substitute.<ref name = "soccerbase">{{soccerbase|id=1227}}</ref> His debut for Mansfield was spoiled by the club making an error in his registration which caused them to be deducted two league points.<ref name = "sfa"/>

=== Swindon Town ===
Swindon Town manager [[Lou Macari]] signed Calderwood from [[Mansfield Town F.C.|Mansfield Town]] in 1985, with a [[The Football League|Football League]] tribunal setting the fee at £27,500.

The 21-year-old Calderwood was installed as the club captain,<ref name = "sfa"/> and he made his debut on the first day of the season, a 1–0 defeat at [[Wrexham A.F.C.|Wrexham]] on 17 August 1985. Although that season started badly, it ended with the Town breaking the League points record<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Records.asp|title=Swindon-Town-FC.co.uk - Club Records|website=www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk|access-date=26 January 2019}}</ref> as they won the [[Football League Division Four|Fourth Division]] title.<ref name = "sfa"/> Calderwood's performance in Swindon Town's defence won him the Adver Player of the Year award from the [[Swindon Advertiser]].

The following season, Calderwood helped Swindon Town to their achieve their second successive promotion,<ref name = "sfa"/> after beating [[Gillingham F.C.|Gillingham]] in the playoff final replay at [[Selhurst Park]].

As Swindon gradually improved in Division Two, Calderwood led the defence, missing only thirteen league games over the next three years. At the end of this period, he led the Town to their first promotion to the top flight, after beating [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] in the playoff final at Wembley in 1990. Shortly afterwards, Swindon were demoted to the Third Division due to an irregular payments scandal. The club were reinstated to the Second Division after an appeal. Calderwood was arrested and questioned by the police with regard to the scandal, though was not ultimately charged with anything.<ref>[http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Person.asp?PersonID=CALDERWC Swindon-Town-F.C.co.uk]</ref>

Swindon narrowly avoided relegation in the 1990–91 season, which Calderwood mostly missed after a tackle by [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolves]] player [[Steve Bull]] caused a serious injury. During the following two seasons, Calderwood returned to be an ever-present in the Swindon side. Now under the management of [[Glenn Hoddle]], Swindon were promoted to the newly founded [[Premier League]] at the end of the 1992–93 season after a 4-3 playoff final victory over [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester]]. Calderwood was picked for the Football League representative side, playing against their Italian counterparts.

=== Tottenham Hotspur ===
Calderwood's contract with Swindon expired in the summer of 1993. Former manager [[Ossie Ardiles]] signed him for Tottenham Hotspur, with a tribunal setting the transfer fee at £1.25 million.<ref name = "pleat"/> This set a new Swindon Town club record for transfer fee received.

Whilst at Tottenham Hotspur for five years Calderwood played with a succession of defenders including [[Gary Mabbutt]] and [[Ramon Vega]]. While at Tottenham he gained many of his [[Scotland national football team|Scotland]] caps, making his debut against [[Russia national football team|Russia]] in the [[UEFA Euro 1996 qualifying Group 8]] section.<ref name = "sfa">{{SFA Profile|id=113757}}</ref><ref name = "pleat"/> Calderwood represented his country at [[UEFA Euro 1996]] and the [[1998 FIFA World Cup]], playing in all three matches at the first tournament and two matches at the second.<ref name = "sfa"/><ref name = "pleat"/> He was a regular under Scotland manager [[Craig Brown (footballer born 1940)|Craig Brown]].

== Coaching career ==

=== Northampton Town ===
Upon retirement as a player, Calderwood became [[reserve team]] manager at Tottenham. He became [[manager (association football)|manager]] of Northampton Town on 9 October 2003.<ref>{{cite news |title=Calderwood joins Cobblers |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/northampton_town/3178954.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=9 October 2003 |access-date=22 December 2007 }}</ref> In his first two seasons in charge, Northampton reached the promotion playoffs.<ref name = "pleat"/>  They finally won promotion in 2006 by finishing second in [[Football League Two|League Two]],<ref name = "pleat"/>  setting a new club record for clean sheets in a single season, with 25.

=== Nottingham Forest ===
Calderwood was appointed as manager by Nottingham Forest in May 2006.<ref name = "pleat" /><ref>{{cite news |title=Calderwood named new Forest boss  |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/nottm_forest/5030352.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 May 2006 |access-date=22 October 2010}}</ref> Calderwood enjoyed an unbeaten league start to his Forest campaign and won the managerial monthly award for August 2006.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/n/nottm_forest/5294930.stm|title=Calderwood given League One award|date=31 August 2006|access-date=26 January 2019|language=en-GB}}</ref> Forest led [[Football League One|League One]] by seven points in late November 2006. This lead was squandered, and the club finished in fourth place, 11 points behind leaders [[Scunthorpe United F.C.|Scunthorpe United]]. Forest lost 5–4 on aggregate to [[Yeovil Town F.C.|Yeovil Town]] in the promotion playoffs.<ref name = "pleat" /><ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/6649773.stm |publisher=BBC Sport | title=Nottm Forest 2-5 Yeovil | date=18 May 2007 | access-date=22 October 2010}}</ref>

In the [[The Football League 2007–08|2007–08]] season, Forest failed to win any of their first six competitive games of the season. Forest went on a good run of form after this, losing just once in fifteen games. Calderwood won a manager of the month award during this run, but he decided to sell the award trophy on [[eBay]] to raise funds for presents to hospital patients in [[Nottingham]].<ref name = "ebay"/> The auction was said to have raised around £2,000.<ref name = "ebay">{{cite news |title=Calderwood auctions off accolade |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/nottm_forest/7154161.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=20 December 2007 |access-date=20 December 2007 }}</ref>

After this, there was a spell of inconsistent results, particularly away from home, which led to Forest dropping into the promotion play-off zone. Forest were nine points short of the automatic promotion places with just four games remaining, which led Calderwood to admit that automatic promotion was unlikely.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/nottm_forest/7338439.stm |title=Automatic hopes gone - Calderwood |publisher=BBC Sport |date=9 April 2008 |access-date=22 October 2010}}</ref> Forest won six out of their last seven games, which was enough to earn a second-place finish and automatic promotion to the [[Football League Championship]].<ref name = "pleat" />

Calderwood was sacked by Forest in December 2008, as the club had secured just four wins by Christmas.<ref name = "pleat" /><ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/nottm_forest/7800688.stm | publisher=BBC Sport | title=Calderwood sacked as Forest boss | date=26 December 2008 | access-date=30 April 2010}}</ref>
