Micky Quinn Biography

Micky Quinn is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on May 2, 1962 in Liverpool, United Kingdom. Quinn, Portsmouth’s top goal scorer, scored 24 goals in all competitions. They finished second in Second Division and reclaimed the First Division spot they last held in late 1950s. After just one season, Portsmouth was relegated to the Second Division. Quinn scored 11 goals in that season. Quinn weighed in at around 88 kg (194 lb). Portsmouth fans celebrated Quinn’s goals with the song “He’s fat, round, he’s worth a million pounds, Micky Quinn. Micky Quinn! Quinn was penalized PS5000 by The Football Association in August 1987 for declaring he was the “hardest man in football”.

After Wigan’s 1982 promotion to the Third Division, Larry Lloyd saw Quinn as too inexperienced to play at the higher levels of league football. He offered Quinn a free transfer to Stockport County. Stockport was where Quinn became a consistent goalscorer. Quinn, now a proven player, was attracted to the Second Division Oldham Athletic manager Joe Royle. He joined the club in January 1984 for PS53,000 Quinn spent just two years at Boundary park and was a skilled goalscorer at the highest level of football.

Quinn stayed at Fratton Park for the 1988–89 season and scored 20 league goals but Portsmouth finished 20th in the league and their good early season form was perhaps all that saved them from a second successive relegation. Midway through the season, manager Alan Ball departed Fratton Park and was succeeded by John Gregory. This transition was largely blamed for Portsmouth’s slump in form. Gregory did appoint Quinn as the new first-team captain and when his contract expired at the end of the season Quinn was offered a new deal but rejected the offer and put in a transfer request, hoping for a transfer to a First Division club.

Quinn scored four goals on his debut in a 5–2 home win over Leeds United on 19 August 1989 and finished as the Football League’s top goalscorer for the 1989–90 season with 34 league goals. Quinn managed 39 goals in all competitions that season. The Magpies were beaten to one of the automatic promotion places by Leeds United and Sheffield United and their promotion hopes were ended when they lost to local rivals Sunderland in the play-offs. Quinn scored 20 goals for the Magpies the following season but the club’s league form slumped and they finished down in tenth position. Before the season ended Quinn and his teammates had a new manager after Jim Smith resigned and was succeeded by Ossie Ardiles.

Quinn started his career in Derby County as an apprentice, signing for the East Midlands club after he graduated from school in 1978. Quinn was unable to stay at the Baseball Ground for four months and was then relegated to Merseyside due to homesickness. Quinn, eager to become a professional, joined Wigan Athletic as an apprentice in September 1979. He signed professional forms in the season and was given his Fourth Division debut in April 1980 by Ian McNeill, his manager, just before his 18th birthday. In 69 Fourth Division matches, Quinn scored 19 goals for Wigan.

After scoring 34 goals in 80 Second Division games for Oldham, Quinn joined Portsmouth in March 1986, with manager Alan Ball paying £150,000 for Quinn’s services in an attempt to push for promotion to the First Division, but Portsmouth just missed automatic promotion on the final day of the season – just as had happened the previous season. In April 1986, Quinn was found guilty of drink-driving and received a £100 fine, as well as a one-year driving ban for a similar offence committed in Liverpool during 1985. Quinn breached the driving ban twice later in 1986, and in January 1987 he was sentenced to 21 days in prison but was freed after serving 14 days. At the end of Portsmouth’s home fixture against West Bromwich Albion on 25 October 1986, Quinn and teammate Paul Wood were both ejected from the ground by police officers after being overheard swearing at a linesman during the second half of the game. Chief Inspector David Hanna of Hampshire Constabulary said they would have been ejected at half-time if the incident had happened in the first half.
