Colm Coyle

Colm Coyle (born 26 February 1963) is a former Gaelic football player and manager from County Meath, Ireland. He won a Leinster Minor Football Championship medal with Meath in 1980, made his senior debut in the 1981 to 1982 National League and played inter-county football in the 1980s and 1990s on the Meath teams managed by Seán Boylan, with Seneschalstown as his club. He was part of the Meath team that won the 1986 Leinster title, and after emigrating to America he returned before the 1987 All-Ireland semi-final and was a substitute as Meath won their first All-Ireland title in 20 years. He played as a half-back in the 1988 replay and won a third All-Ireland medal in 1996, when he was sent off early in the replay after a melee, so that his career brought three All-Ireland and five Leinster medals. He played in the full-back, half-back, half-forward and full-forward lines at various times. Appointed manager of the Meath senior team in September 2006, he reached the 2007 All-Ireland quarter-final through the qualifiers and resigned in July 2008 after an emphatic defeat against Limerick.
