Born in Lambeth, Hedman signed as an apprentice for Colchester United in 1983, and he went on to make 219 appearances for the "U's" across two spells - the second a loan stint from Crystal Palace. His four-year stay with Palace was largely unsuccessful, although he made five appearances in the club's promotion season of 1988–89 and played in three out of the four play-off games which saw Palace reach the top flight.[2] He moved on to play for Dulwich Hamlet in 1992 and later Stevenage Borough. He also played in Singapore and Hong Kong with Sing Tao before returning to England. After retiring from playing, Hedman joined the Colchester Centre of Excellence coaching staff.[3]
Personal life
His sister Deta Hedman is a professional darts player with several titles to her name.[4]
