Micky Quinn - Player Profile
| Full Name: | Michael Quinn |
| Born: | 02/05/1962 (age 63) |
| Place of Birth: | Liverpool |
| Nationality: | England |
| Height: | 5 ft 9 in |
| Position: | Forward |
| First Team Debut: | 12/04/1980 v Halifax Town (H) - Football League Division Four |
Mike arrived at Springfield Park at the start of season 1979/80 after serving his apprenticeship at Derby County.
He became a scoring phenomenon in the reserve team and he made an immediate impact on the first team when he scored on his Latics League debut against Halifax Town in a 3-1 victory at Springfield Park.
The following season he was the top goal scorer with 14 goals to his credit and by the time Larry Lloyd arrived at Springfield Park he was valued at around the £500,000 million mark - a lot of money in those days.
However, after a furious run in with Lloyd, Mike joined Stockport County on a free transfer for the start of the 1082/83 season.
He made 36+7 League appearances for the club and scored 14 League goals before becoming a prolific goal scorer for every club he ever played for afterwards.
Mike is currently (January 2012) a well respected horse breeder and works in the media for radio station TalkSport.
On air he will mention the fact that he played for Latics when the club makes news, or when it suits him. Otherwise, he is prone to making disparaging remarks about Latics and their players.
