Tommy Coyne Biography

Tommy Coyne is one of the most popular and richest Former Football Player who was born on November 14, 1962 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Coyne was raised in Govan as a supporter of Celtic and attracted the attention of their scouts in his teens, though no move materialised; he had already turned down Dundee United in the hope of joining Celtic, while Rangers, whose stadium was very close to his home and school, were said to have disregarded signing him due to his Catholic upbringing which contravened their signing policy of the time. He played for Hillwood Boys Club before starting his professional career at Clydebank, where he made his debut in the 1981–82 season, scoring 9 goals in 31 matches. Netting 19 in 38 matches in his second season, he began the 1983–84 season with 10 in 11 games before being sold to Dundee United, then a force in Scottish football as part of the New Firm and the defending league champions, for £65,000. However, Coyne failed to reproduce his Clydebank form at Tannadice and scored only 9 goals in 62 league games, though he did score a few goals in the UEFA Cup during the club’s run to the 1987 final.

Halfway through the 1986–87 season he was transferred to city rivals Dundee for £75,000 and found his scoring boots again, notching up 9 goals in 20 games in the second half of the season and forming an effective partnership with fellow new signing Keith Wright earning them the nicknames “The cobra” and “the Mongoose”. In the 1987–88 season Coyne was top scorer in the Premier Division as he scored 33 goals in 43 matches, a total which earned him third place in the European Golden Boot contest. After scoring 9 goals in 20 matches at the start of the 1988–89 season he was sold on to Celtic for £500,000, the largest transfer fee Dundee had received.
