Israel Campbell Money (born 31 August 1960 in Maybole, Ayrshire) is a Scottish former football goalkeeper and former manager of Stranraer, Ayr United and Stenhousemuir.
Money started his senior career with St Mirren, whom he joined from Dailly Amateurs in 1978. As a result of his move to full-time football he was obliged to give up a career in the police force. He made his debut on 1 August 1978 when selected to face a Southampton side containing stars such as Peter Osgood and Ted McDougall. However the presence of established goalkeeper, Billy Thomson, limited his appearances at Love Street until 1984, when Thomson switched teams and joined Dundee United.
Money became Saints regular goalkeeper and became a fans favourite for his part in the side's 1987 Scottish Cup win. He played in over 400 matches for the Saints and holds a club record for playing in the most European games, eight in total. He is also their all-time top scoring goalkeeper with penalties in December 1992 against Cowdenbeath and Clydebank. Widely considered one of St Mirren's best ever goalkeepers, he earned selection to several Scotland national team squads without ever earning a cap. He was selected once by Scotland B in 1990, replacing Bryan Gunn in a goalless draw against Yugoslavia.
