Johnny Quigley

John Quigley (28 June 1935 – 30 November 2004) was a Scottish football midfielder and coach. His career peaked when he won the 1959 FA Cup Final with Nottingham Forest.

Playing career Celtic He began his career as a provisional signing with Celtic, who farmed him out to Scottish Junior Football club St Anthony's. After Celtic terminated his contract he joined another junior club, Ashfield.

Nottingham Forest He was almost immediately signed by Nottingham Forest in July 1957. He scored 58 goals in 270 appearances in the 7 seasons he was there.

In 1958 against Manchester City he was the first Forest player to score a First Division post-war hat trick. His goal against Aston Villa at Hillsborough won that 1958-59 FA Cup semi final. Forest were 2-0 up after 14 minutes. Luton Town hit back midway through the second half after Forest's opening goalscorer Roy Dwight broke his leg in the 33rd minute. Forest had further personnel issue when cramp reduced Bill Whare to little more than a hobbling spectator. Quigley helped Forest protect their 2–1 lead to lift the trophy at Wembley.

Coaching career He branched into coaching at Mansfield. He became assistant player-manager/trainer-coach at Field Mill.

In 1970 he went on to coach at Doncaster Rovers including a spell as caretaker manager from November 1974 to February 1975. He remained as first team coach at Rovers until 1977,
