David Neil Trebble (born 16 February 1969) is a former English professional footballer who played as a Forward. Although most of his career was played in non-league football, he played 19 matches in the Football League for Preston North End.[1]

He was regarded as a physical player with good heading ability. Trebble started adult life in the army, having six years in the Grenadier Guards.[2] He was discovered by Scunthorpe United playing for Stevenage Borough. After one season at Glanford Park, Trebble moved to Preston North End on a free transfer. He made his debut in a goalless draw at Darlington.[3]

In his one season at Preston, he scored four goals in 19 league appearances. 11 of his league appearances and 3 of his 4 goals came from the bench. With a couple of months left in the 1994-1995 season, Trebble left Preston and joined Scarborough.[4]

He later became a manager Aylesbury United, following the departure of Danny Nicholls in December 2005. With Aylesbury facing a relegation battle, however Trebble was unsuccessful in keeping the side in the league. He was later appointed manager of United Counties League side AFC Kempston Rovers in June 2007.[5]
