Kevin Francis Tully (born 18 December 1952) is an English former footballer.
Tully began his career with Prestwich Heys. In 1972 he joined a then-managerless Blackpool, for whom he went on to make eleven league appearances. He made his debut for the club on Boxing Day, in a 2–1 defeat at Lancashire neighbours Burnley, and went on to make a further four starts and one substitute appearance before the end of the 1972–73 campaign.[1] Under Harry Potts, who was installed as manager at Bloomfield Road in the latter stages of the previous season, Tully started the first five league games of 1973–74, before leaving to join Cambridge United.[1]
Tully also played for Crewe Alexandra before joining Port Vale in exchange for Neil Wilkinson and £3,000 in October 1978. He only made thirteen league and three cup games for the club before having his contract cancelled "by mutual consent" in February 1980. He moved into non-league football with Chorley, Bury, Barrow and Witton Albion.[2]
