David Hopkin (born 21 August 1970 in Greenock) is a Scottish former professional footballer who is the assistant head coach at Livingston. He was formerly the reserve team manager at Greenock Morton. As a player he was a midfielder from 1989 until 2003 notably in the English Premier League with spells with Chelsea, Leeds United and Bradford City. He also played in the Football League for Crystal Palace and started and finished his career in his native Scotland with Greenock Morton. He earned 7 caps for Scotland, scoring 2 goals. ==Club career== Hopkin started his career at Morton before earning a move to Premier League side Chelsea in 1992. He did not play many games for Chelsea and was later sold to Crystal Palace in 1995 for £850,000 just after their relegation from the Premier League. At Selhurst Park he wrote himself into Palace folklore by scoring a 90th minute winner in the 1997 Division One Play-off Final against Sheffield United, to put Palace into the Premier League. 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 in a player/coaching role – however he had to retire in 2003 due to a recurring ankle injury. During his second playing spell at Morton he scored twice, once in the League Cup against St Mirren and once in the league against Gretna. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Hopkin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
