Samuel Gary "Sammy" Igoe (born 30 September 1975 in Spelthorne, Surrey) is an English professional footballer, currently playing for A.F.C. Bournemouth. He started his career with Portsmouth, and after spells with Reading, Luton Town and Swindon Town. Igoe signed for Millwall in August 2005[1] but he struggled to maintain a first team place after Steve Claridge was sacked as manager.
Igoe impressed Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope during a loan spell at the club at the end of the 2005–06 season, and in the summer of 2006 he signed for the club on a permanent basis.[2]
The next season he became a regular in midfield and became irreplaceable as such. The highlight of the season came right at the end, he scored the last goal in the play off final, in the 3–1 win against Shrewsbury Town at Wembley Stadium, on 26 May.
Igoe was given a loan spell at Hereford United, joining on 27 March 2008. When he returned from his loan spell at the end of the 2007–08 season he was released from his contract with Bristol Rovers, along with Chris Carruthers.[3]
Igoe then signed a one year contract with Bournemouth after impressing whilst on trial.
