Colin Suggett (born 30 December 1948) is an English former professional football player and manager. He played as a midfielder in the Football League for Sunderland, West Bromwich Albion, Norwich City and Newcastle United.[1]
Born in Chester-le-Street,[1] Suggett began his career as an apprentice at Sunderland, with whom he twice won the FA Youth Cup.[2] He represented England Schools, and later the England Youth team.[1]
He moved to West Bromwich Albion in July 1969 for a club record fee of £100,000.[3] He then joined Norwich for a £70,000 fee in February 1973. He was voted Norwich City player of the year in 1975.[2]
He later worked as a youth coach at Sunderland's fierce rivals Newcastle United, coaching such players as Neil McDonald. Suggett also enjoyed a brief spell as caretaker manager at the club, following Willie McFaul's departure in 1988.
In 2006[update], he was working as chief scout at Carlisle United, where he again joined up with manager Neil McDonald. Prior to this he was chief scout at Ipswich Town.
