Eddie May (born 30 August 1967) is a Scottish football player and coach.
Playing career
He played as a midfielder and full back for several clubs, including Hibernian, Falkirk and Motherwell during the 1980s and 1990s. When he joined Brentford in July 1989, May's £167,000 transfer fee was a then-club record.[3]
Coaching career
After retiring as a player, May became a coach, developing young players for Falkirk.[4] May was appointed as the manager of Falkirk in June 2009, with former player Steven Pressley and Alex Smith assisting him.[4][5] His first competitive game was a 1–0 victory over FC Vaduz in the UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds, although Falkirk eventually lost their first ever European tie 2–1 on aggregate, becoming the first British club to lose a European tie to a club from Liechtenstein.[6] May developed a reputation for being brutally honest during his spell in charge at Falkirk.[6] May resigned as Falkirk manager soon afterwards, however, with the team bottom of the SPL.[7]
May returned to football in June 2010, becoming a youth coach with Rangers.[8] He was appointed high performance coach at the University of Stirling in August 2012.[9][10] May returned to Hibernian in August 2014 when he became their academy coaching manager.[11]
Acting role
May appeared for a brief goal in Rangers colours in the movie A Shot at Glory which also starred Ally McCoist, Brian Cox, Michael Keaton and Owen Coyle.
