[edit] Playing career

As a player, Adkins was goalkeeper for Tranmere Rovers, Wigan Athletic and Bangor City.

[edit] Managerial career

Adkins was in charge of Bangor City in the League of Wales, where he was at the helm for the Citizens' title wins in 1994 and 1995.

Adkins was appointed caretaker manager by Scunthorpe chairman Steve Wharton in November 2006, following the departure of the previous manager, Brian Laws. Adkins had previously held the role of physio at the club. After his spell as caretaker he was appointed as permanent manager on 7 December 2006.

Due to Adkins' previous role with the club, Scunthorpe supporters chanted "Who needs Mourinho, we've got our physio!" on the terraces of Glanford Park in his honour.

Adkins guided Scunthorpe to promotion from League One to the Championship with three matches to spare on 14 April 2007. The Sun newspaper named Adkins "Emergency Manager of the Year" in an article that looked at the match winning average of replacement bosses in the 2006–07 season following the departure of the previous manager.
