Paul Anthony Furlong (born 1 October 1968) is a retired English professional footballer who is currently an academy coach for Queens Park Rangers.
Furlong has played in the Premier League for Chelsea and in the Football League for Coventry City, Watford, Birmingham City, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield United, Luton Town, Southend United and Barnet. He has also played non-League football for Enfield and Kettering Town. At representative level, he has six caps for the England semi-professional team.
Furlong's son Darnell made his professional debut with QPR in 2015.
He began his career at non-League level with Conference side Enfield in 1986, remaining there until July 1991 when he signed for Football League First Division side Coventry City. He was brought to Highfield Road by the club's player-manager and former England defender Terry Butcher, and when Butcher was sacked in January he remained in favour under new manager Don Howe. Furlong only managed four goals from 37 league games all season, however, and after the season ended he was transferred to Watford.
