Colin Hendry

International

Hendry managed to win 51 caps for Scotland despite the fact that he was a latecomer to the international scene, not making his debut until he was 27. He captained Scotland in the 1998 World Cup. His last Scotland appearance, on 28 March 2001, saw Hendry score two goals in a 4–0 win over San Marino.

Coaching career Hendry landed his first managerial job in June 2004 when he was appointed manager of his former club Blackpool replacing Steve McMahon. He was dismissed by the club on 29 November 2005 following a poor run of results.

On 9 September 2006 Hendry joined Boston United as assistant manager to Steve Evans.

On 11 June 2007 he became manager of Scottish First Division side Clyde. Hendry lost his first three games in charge. He picked up his first victory in a Scottish Challenge Cup tie against fellow First Division side Queen of the South in August 2007. His best run was a six-game undefeated streak from November 2007 to December 2007. His final game in charge of Clyde was a Scottish Cup fourth-round match, which Clyde lost 1–0 to Dundee United.

In June 2012, Hendry re-joined Blackburn Rovers, initially as first-team coach, working under manager and fellow Scot Steve Kean. He later became assistant manager of the club's under-21 team. On 12 June 2014, Hendry left Rovers.

Personal life

Hendry's wife, Denise, died on 10 July 2009, aged 43. Her death was caused by complications during an operation that was needed following cosmetic surgery performed in April 2002. His son Callum is also a footballer.

On 23 June 2010, Hendry was formally declared bankrupt at Blackpool County Court. It was reported that he faced a tax bill of more than £1m and owed thousands of pounds to other creditors. One of the creditors was SpreadEx, a betting company.

Hendry was charged with harassing and assaulting an ex-girlfriend in May 2015. He subsequently pleaded guilty to a charge of harassment, while the assault charge was dropped.
