Michael "Micky" Quinn (born 2 May 1962) is a retired English professional footballer. Quinn was predominantly a centre forward from 1979 until 1996. Micky is now a scout for Wigan Athletic and works on UK radio station TalkSPORT, mostly on the Weekend Breakfast show.
Quinn played for Wigan Athletic, , Oldham Athletic, Portsmouth, Newcastle United, Coventry City, Plymouth Argyle, Watford and PAOK Thessaloniki, during a career in which he played in 524 league matches and scored 229 league goals.
Quinn was born in the Everton area of Liverpool on Merseyside in 1962, the oldest of four children born to Michael Quinn and Patricia Silvano. From the age of five, Quinn lived on the Cantril Farm estate and from that young age he's been a supporter of Liverpool. Quinn is the grandson of Italian-born boxer Luigi Silvano (known professionally as Lou Sullivan) who died in 1948 at the age of 39.
Quinn began his career as an apprentice with Derby County signing for the East Midlands club upon leaving school in 1978. However, Quinn only lasted four months at the Baseball Ground, and returned to his Merseyside home, suffering from homesickness. Eager to turn professional, Quinn joined Wigan Athletic in September 1979 as an apprentice and signed professional forms later in that season, scoring on his Fourth Division debut in April 1980, just prior to his 18th birthday.
