Samuel Gary Igoe (born September 30, 1975 in Spelthorne) is a professional footballer. He started his career with Portsmouth, and after spells with Reading, Luton Town and Swindon Town, Sammy signed for Millwall in August 2005 [cite news |title=Igoe completes move to Millwall |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/millwall/4672571.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=2005-07-19 |accessdate=2007-08-31] but he struggled to maintain a first team place after Steve Claridge was sacked as manager.

Igoe impressed Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope during a loan spell at the club at the end of the 2005-06 season, and in the summer of 2006 he signed for the club on a permanent basis.

The next season he became a regular in midfield and became irreplaceable as such. The highlight of the season came right at the end, he scored the last goal in the play off final, in the 3-1 win against Shrewsbury Town at Wembley Stadium, on May 26th.

Igoe was given a loan spell at Hereford United, joining on 27 March 2008. When he returned from his loan spell at the end of the 2007/2008 season he was released from his contract with Bristol Rovers.

Sammy Igoe has now signed a one year contract with AFC Bournemouth after impressing whilst on trial.
