Paul Ince, English footballer and manager
Paul Emerson Carlyle Ince (; born 21 October 1967) is an English professional football manager currently serving as interim manager at EFL Championship side Reading. He is also a former player who played as a midfielder from 1982 to 2007.
Ince spent the majority of his playing career at the highest level; after leaving West Ham United he joined Manchester United where he played in the Premier League. After two years in Serie A with Inter Milan he returned to England to play in the top flight for Liverpool, Middlesbrough and Wolverhampton Wanderers. After a spell as player-coach of Swindon Town, he retired from playing while player-manager of Macclesfield Town in 2007. He went on to manage Milton Keynes Dons (twice), Blackburn Rovers, Notts County and, after an almost-two-year break, Blackpool. He was capped 53 times by England, scoring two goals.
With a combined total of 271 league appearances for the two, Ince is one of the few players, especially in the Premier League era, to have represented both of arch rivals Liverpool and Manchester United.
As a player, he won numerous honours with Manchester United, became the first black player to captain the England team as well as manage a Premier League club at Blackburn in 2008–09. His son Tom Ince plays for Championship side Reading.
