Christopher John Coyne (born 20 December 1978) is an Australian former soccer player and coach who is currently head of Bayswater City SC in National Premier Leagues Western Australia (NPLWA). In a 17-year career as a player, Coyne appeared for clubs in Australia, England and China, most significantly for Luton Town for whom he appeared 221 times between 2001 and 2008. He played seven times for Australia in 2008 and 2009.
Coyne next played in the friendly games against South Africa in August 2008, and against The Netherlands in September 2008. He followed these with a strong performance against Uzbekistan in Australia’s 1–0 victory in their opening final stage pool game for the 2010 World Cup in September 2008. His fifth appearance for the Australia national team came in the 1–0 win against Bahrain in November 2008. His next appearances were in June 2009 as Australia drew with Qatar to secure their place in the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, and followed that up a few days later with a 2–0 win over Bahrain. He and teammate Harry Kewell were rested for the final World Cup qualifying match against Japan a week later.
Luton went into administration during the 2007–08 season and Coyne was sold to Colchester United for a Colchester record transfer fee of £350,000 in January 2008 to obtain necessary funding for the club. Colchester manager Geraint Williams said: “It’s great news for the club. Chris is a defender with experience and leadership qualities.” However, Coyne was unable to help prevent Colchester from being relegated at the end of the season. Coyne was named Colchester United club captain for the 2008–09 season, but selection for the Australia national team, injuries and a change of management meant that he struggled to hold on to a place in the first team, and at the end of the season, he met with the club management to resolve his future. He left the club by mutual consent in July 2009, saying, “Unfortunately, after 18 months here, it’s time to move on. It was made clear that I wasn’t going to play week in, week out and I felt that I had to look at that and address it. Also, there isn’t much of a chance for the Australian manager to watch League One football but in Australia, I’m guaranteed to play 27 games in front of him.” Coyne scored once for the club, his goal coming in a 4–3 defeat against West Bromwich Albion on 29 March 2008.
