Career
Born in York, North Yorkshire,[1] Culkin signed for Premier League club Manchester United in September 1995, costing £100,000 from York City while still in the club's youth system.[2] Culkin's first United match was in their Scandinavian tour, which was before the 1997–98 season. He came on at half-time for Manchester United's first choice goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel. Culkin kept a clean sheet against Norwegian team SK Brann, where Manchester United won 4–0. He signed a new two-year contract with United in May 1999.[3]
He holds the record for the shortest debut in Premier League history, replacing Raimond van der Gouw in stoppage time against Arsenal at Highbury on 22 August 1999, the referee blew up immediately after Culkin took the resulting free kick.[4] Culkin also received two Charity Shield runners-up medals as he appeared on the bench in the 1998 and 1999 Charity Shields.[5]
He was also loaned to Hull City, Bristol Rovers and Livingston. Overall he played 93 league matches, three FA Cup matches, and seven League Cup matches. Culkin retired from professional football in April 2005 due to a long-standing knee injury.[6]
Culkin came out of retirement after signing for Northern Premier League Division One North team Radcliffe Borough in August 2010. During the 2011–12 season, Culkin was placed in the NPL First Division North team of the Year, and was nominated for the Fans Player of the Year, losing out to Cheyenne Dunkley. He has also been voted the Supporters Player of the year on two occasions and the Club's Player of the Year in 2012.[7] He remained at the club until October 2012.
He joined Prescot Cables in November.[8]
