Nigel Jemson (born 10 August 1969) is a former English footballer, who represented his country at the Under-21 level and was the manager of Ilkeston Town, until May 2008. As of July 9, 2008, he became the player-assistant manager to Jim Vince at the newly renamed F.C. Halifax Town.
He played for a total of 12 English league clubs and one Scottish league club during his career, rarely lasting more than a season in each club.
Arguably, the highlight of his career was the goal he scored in the 1990 League Cup Final for Nottingham Forest against Oldham Athletic. It resulted to be the winner, and the only goal of the game.
There was another highlight in his career was in 1996, when he scored two goals at Wembley, in the then named Auto Windscreen Shield Final (Football League Trophy) for Rotherham United in a 2-1 win against Shrewsbury Town, whom he later went to play 109 games for.
Jemson also gained national fame in January 2003, after scoring the goals that knocked Everton F.C. out of the FA Cup 3rd round during his time in Shrewsbury Town. He put the Shrews into a first half lead with a free kick, and after Niclas Alexandersson had equalised for Everton, he glanced a last minute header past Richard Wright, to give Shrewsbury Town another famous FA Cup victory, and one of the all-time greatest FA Cup games.
He was affectionately known as the "Jemolition man" by Forest fans.
