Paul Anthony Sugrue (born 6 November 1960) is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward in the Football League for Manchester City, Cardiff City, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Northampton Town and Newport County.[3]

Sugrue played non-league football for Nuneaton Borough before a long career in the Football League.[3] He then returned to non-league with Bridgend Town[3] and played for Elo Kuopio in Finland, before returning to England to play a pivotal role in Barnet's 1991 Conference title-winning campaign. He had a spell as manager at Nuneaton Borough,[4] and later became vice-chairman of Merthyr Tydfil, taking over managerial duties as well in February 2006.[5][6]

Personal life

In late 2017 Sugrue appeared in court on fraud charges, alongside fellow former footballer Mark Aizlewood and others.[7] He was found guilty in February 2018 and sentenced to seven years imprisonment.[8][9]
