'''Paul Norman Telfer''' (born 21 October 1971) is a Scottish football coach and former professional [[Association football|footballer]].
Telfer made over 300 league appearances in the [[Premier League]] for [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] and [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]] between 1995 and 2005
In 2011, he joined the coaching staff at [[Sutton United F.C.|Sutton United]] and also agreed to make a return to the playing side of the game. He has also had a spell with [[North American Soccer League (2011–2017)|North American Soccer League]] team [[Indy Eleven]] as assistant coach.
==
===Luton Town===
Telfer was born in [[Edinburgh]], but began his career at [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]] as a right-sided midfielder. He made over 150 competitive first team appearances for Luton including 144 league games.
In November 1992, Telfer and then Luton teammate [[Darren Salton]] were involved in a head on car crash in [[Bedfordshire]]. Telfer, the driver of the car, suffered only minor injuries and went on to make a full recovery. Salton spent seven days on a life support machine and a further two and half weeks in a coma. Salton was forced to quit football following the accident. A 51-year-old female passenger in the other car was killed.<ref>{{cite news |title=Young Scotland football player fights for life |url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12580117.Young_Scotland_football_player_fights_for_life/ |
===Coventry City===

===Southampton===
In October 2001, shortly after Coventry's relegation from the Premiership, Telfer joined [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]], who had appointed Strachan as manager just over a month earlier. At Southampton, Telfer was converted from midfielder to right-back, and was a member of the side that reached the [[2003 FA Cup Final]]. He scored once during his spell at Southampton, in a 3–1 win over Newcastle in May 2002.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1978536.stm|title=Dyer World Cup doubt|publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=11 May 2002 |
===Celtic===
In 2005, Strachan became manager at [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]], and again made Telfer one of his first signings. Telfer played just under two years at Parkhead, where he won two Scottish League championships and scored once in the league against Aberdeen.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/4490710.stm|title=Aberdeen 1–3 Celtic |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=2 December 2005 |

===AFC Bournemouth===
On 13 July 2007, Telfer came out of retirement, signing a one-year contract with [[
===Leeds United===
On 8 August 2008, Telfer came out of retirement for a second time and joined [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] on a non-contract basis after initially training with Leeds to keep fitness. He signed a
But after some poor performances by Leeds' centre backs, Telfer found himself playing in an unfamiliar centre back role after impressing for Leeds in the position in a League Cup game against [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]]. Telfer at first put in some assured performances, but as the season went on Leeds became very vulnerable, with Telfer's lack of pace being exposed. Most notably in injury time against [[Huddersfield Town]] after Leeds conceded a goal, where Telfer's lack of pace was badly exposed. Gary McAllister was sacked in December, and new manager [[Simon Grayson]] left Telfer out of all of his first team squads during his first month at the club. On 2 February 2009, his contract was cancelled by mutual consent with Telfer saying he didn't want Leeds to spend money paying his wages whilst he wasn't going to play.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20090202/telfer-departs_2247585_1541536 |title=Telfer departs
