Ken Fogarty (born in Manchester, England) is a (naturalised) American soccer coach. Fogarty was Head Coach and Technical Director of the Cayman Islands national team from 1993 to 1994 and from 1996 to 1998.
Fogarty began his professional career with at the age of seventeen. He then moved to the United States to play for the Los Angeles Skyhawks of the second American Soccer League (ASL) in 1976, the year they won the ASL Championship. He returned to England to play for Stockport County until returning to the US in 1979 to play for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League (NASL). He remained with the Strikers through the end of the 1983 season. When the Strikers moved north to Minnesota, Fogarty went with the team for the final NASL season in 1984. The NASL folded at the end of that season and the Strikers then jumped to the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). Fogarty continued to play with the Strikers until he joined the St. Louis Steamers for the 1987–88 MISL season. However, in 1988, the Fort Lauderdale Strikers were resurrected, this time playing in the third American Soccer League.[1] Fogarty joined them for the outdoor season, then moved to the Baltimore Blast of MISL for the next three indoor seasons. In 1989, Fogarty left the Strikers for good and joined the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the ASL where he served as a player coach from 1989 to 1993. In 1990, the Rowdies joined the American Professional Soccer League (APSL). The team folded at the end of the 1993 season and Fogarty retired from playing professionally.
