Michael Higdon (born 2 September 1983) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker.
Born in Liverpool, he began his career with Crewe Alexandra where he came through the youth team before making the break into their first eleven in 2003. In 2007 he joined Scottish side Falkirk and then St Mirren in 2009 and Motherwell in 2011. After being a regular goal scorer in the Scottish Leagues, Higdon then moved to Dutch side NEC Nijmegen where he spent one season before signing for Sheffield United.
Higdon progressed from the Crewe Alexandra youth team into their first team in 2003. He was originally used as a midfielder, but due to his height and physical presence, he was converted into a striker by manager Dario Gradi. Higdon's most famous moment for Crewe came against Coventry City in the last game of the 2004–05 season where he scored the winning goal to keep Crewe Alexandra in the Championship.
Higdon joined Scottish Premier League club Falkirk in June 2007 on a free transfer. He had been offered a contract by Crewe, but chose to turn the offer down as he felt he was unlikely to get into the team ahead of Luke Varney and Nicky Maynard. He scored twice on his Falkirk debut against Gretna.
In the final SPL game of 2008–09 for Falkirk, Higdon scored the winning goal to save Falkirk from relegation and thus relegating Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
