Campbell Money

Israel Campbell Money (born 31 August 1960 in Maybole, Ayrshire) is a Scottish former football goalkeeper and manager. A one-club man, Money spent his entire playing career keeping goal for St Mirren. In 1996 he moved into management, taking charge of Scottish Football League sides Stranraer, Ayr United and Stenhousemuir. His final managerial position was at Cumnock of the Scottish Junior Football West Premier League, which he held from 2008 to 2009.

Playing career Money started his senior career with St Mirren, whom he joined from Dailly Amateurs in 1978. As a result of his move to full-time football he was obliged to give up a career in the police force. He made his debut on 1 August 1978 when selected to face a Southampton side containing stars such as Peter Osgood and Ted McDougall. However the presence of established goalkeeper, Billy Thomson, limited his appearances at Love Street until 1984, when Thomson switched teams and joined Dundee United. and was selected once by Scotland B in 1990, replacing Bryan Gunn in a goalless draw against Yugoslavia.

Managerial career In the later years of his career, Money became player-assistant manager to Jimmy Bone at St Mirren before leaving the Paisley club to become a manager in his own right at Stranraer. In his time with Stranraer he led the Blues to the Scottish Challenge Cup in 1997 and the Scottish Football League Second Division title in 1998. After leaving Stranraer, in 1999, he joined his boyhood heroes, Ayr United, in a coaching capacity before replacing Gordon Dalziel as their manager in 2002. He left Somerset Park in 2004, briefly managing junior side Cumnock.

Money then joined Stenhousemuir as youth development director, where he gained a reputation of breeding young talent at the club. He replaced Des McKeown as manager in early November 2006. However, after a poor start to the 2007–08 season that culminated in a 7–0 thrashing from East Fife, he resigned.

Money then returned to managing Cumnock of the Scottish Junior Football West Premier League. He replaced Mark Shanks, who had replaced him at Ayr United. On 10 March 2009, with Cumnock being in second bottom position in the league, Money agreed to leave Cumnock and was replaced by Stevie Farrell.

Money was inducted to the St Mirren Hall of Fame in 2004. As of summer 2009, he took up the role of SFYI Development and Monitoring Co-ordinator at the SFA.
