Career
[edit | edit source]Garton made his Manchester United debut in 1984, and played 51 games. The first half of his career was marred by injury, and he was forced to retire from full-time football after being diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome.[3] He later played for local clubs, managed Salford City, and taught.[3][4]
Garton immigrated to San Diego, California, in 2001[3] and co-founded the Carmel Valley Manchester youth soccer club.[5] He continued his involvement with youth soccer in the San Diego area with clubs including the Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks,[6] Albion SC[7] and San Diego Surf SC.[8]
