David Hopkin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Hopkin (born 21 August 1970 in Greenock) is a former Scottish professional football player who is currently assistant manager at Port Glasgow F.C.

Hopkin started his career at Greenock Morton F.C. before earning a move to Premiership side Chelsea in 1992. He didn't play many games for Chelsea and was later sold to Crystal Palace in 1995, where he wrote himself into Palace folklore by scoring an 90th minute curling half-volley in the 1997 Division One Play-off Final against Sheffield United, to put Palace in the Premiership. After two years with Palace Hopkin moved on to Leeds United and then to their local rivals Bradford City.

He later went on to play for Crystal Palace again before returning to Scotland with his hometown club Greenock Morton F.C. where he retired in 2003 due to a recurring ankle injury. Hopkin and Derek Collins had a brief spell as joint caretaker manager at Morton when they occupied the dugout for a match against Albion Rovers F.C. in the 2002 / 03 season.

Hopkin won 7 caps for the Scottish national team, scoring twice.
