Thomas "Tommy" Coyle (born 9 January 1959 in Glasgow) is a Scottish ex-professional football midfielder. His brothers Joe and Owen also played professionally.
Coyle began his career with non-league Shettleston before signing for Dumbarton in 1978. He established himself in the first team at Boghead Park and, along with Albert Craig, scored in a 2-2 draw with Clyde that ensured Dumbarton promotion to the Scottish Premier Division for the first time.[2] As well as playing in the club's only season in the revamped top division Coyle also appeared in the first team alongside both of his brothers.[3]
He left Dumbarton in 1987 and went on to play for St. Johnstone and Clydebank.
