Career
After helping Tottenham Hotspur reach the final of the FA Youth Cup, Winston signed for Norwich City to get more game time, but failed to make an appearance there.[1]
In 1996, he signed for Leyton Orient in the fourth division,[2] making 11 league appearances before joining fifth division side Yeovil Town.
In 2000, he signed for Kingstonian, another fifth division club, but left at the end of 2000–01 due to financial problems and relegation to the sixth division.[1] From there, he moved to Slough Town F.C.[3]
