Paul Haigh (born 4 May 1958 in Scarborough) is an English former football defender.
Haigh started his career at Hull City, where he made 180 league appearances. He also represented England under-21's during his spell with the club.[1] In 1980, he moved on to Carlisle United, making over 200 appearances before being released in 1987. He signed for Hartlepool United, and made a total of 63 first-team appearances for the club.[2]
In the middle of the 1988–89 season he broke two bones in his back, caused by a heavy landing in an FA Cup match against Wigan Athletic, forcing him to retire from football at the age of 30.[3] He now works as a financial advisor.[3]
