Liam Coyle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liam Coyle was a Northern Irish footballer who plied his trade with Derry City F.C. of the League of Ireland. Coyle played internationally for Northern Ireland and was a firm fan-favourite at the Brandywell. One of the club's most gifted players ever, he was a target of Manchester United and Sven-Göran Eriksson at Benfica during his early years until injury hampered any potential move and almost brought his career to an end at the age of 21.

Coyle is Derry's all-time top scorer with 112 goals to his name after nearly 400 competitive appearances for the club.
