Joseph Thomas Corrigan (born 18 November 1948 in Manchester), is a former football goalkeeper who played for Manchester City and England. He is currently the goalkeeping coach at West Bromwich Albion.

Career

Corrigan joined Manchester City as a youth player in 1966. He made his debut in 1967, in a League Cup match against Blackpool. Corrigan established himself in the first team during the 1969–70 season, and was part of the Manchester City team which won a cup double of the European Cup Winners Cup and the League Cup. His debut appearance for England came on 28 May 1976 against Italy, the first of a total of 9 caps, and he was part of the England squad for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. He would undoubtedly have played more time for England if his chances had not been limited by Peter Shilton and Ray Clemence. In total Corrigan made 592 appearances for Manchester City, a figure beaten only by Alan Oakes, and a club record for a goalkeeper. He also won Manchester City's Player of the Year award three times, a feat matched only by Richard Dunne.

In 1983 Corrigan was sold to American club Seattle Sounders for £30,000. Corrigan stayed in the US only a few months, making 29 Appearances before returning to England with Brighton. At the end of his career he also had spells on loan at Stoke City and Norwich. Corrigan retired in 1985 following a neck injury. He has subsequently held coaching positions at a number of clubs, including Liverpool and Celtic. He is remembered as one of Manchester City's best goalkeepers along with Frank Swift and Bert Trautmann.

After Retirement

After retiring from football, Joe Corrigan was for a time the Goalkeeping Coach at Liverpool, from 1994 until the arrival of Rafael Benitez in 2004. [cite web
