Pádraig Coyne (born 9 March 1960) is a retired Irish Gaelic footballer, who played as a goalkeeper with the Galway senior team and his local club Milltown.
Coyne joined the Galway senior team the same year in 1981, winning the National Football League in his first season with the county.
Pádraig Coyne lived on the Mayo border town of Milltown and attended St Colman's College, Claremorris.
[2] Centering the defence at full-back, Coyne played a role in helping Colman's to go on to the Hogan Cup final.
[citation needed] Coyne won a Connacht Under-21 Football Championship medal in 1981 when Galway beat Mayo 0-9 to 0-8.
Galway would go on to reach the 1983 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final but would go down to Dublin's "Dirty Dozen" in the infamous "Game of Shame".
The game was even more forgettable for Coyne as he was famously lobbed by Barney Rock from forty yards out as Dublin won 1-10 to 1-8.
