title="Derry City FC">Derry City</a> in the <a href="/wiki/IFA_Premiership" class="mw-redirect" title="IFA Premiership">Irish League</a> before starring with <a href="/wiki/Coleraine_FC" class="mw-redirect" title="Coleraine FC">Coleraine</a> for a number of years. </p><p>At the age of 18, he joined Derry City Reserves, and after some excellent displays, he made his senior debut in the 1952–53 season against Ards. On 25 November 1953 Coyle transferred to <a href="/wiki/Coleraine_F.C." title="Coleraine F.C.">Coleraine F.C.</a> His best was perhaps the 1954–55 season when he top-scored in the Irish League with 20 goals and won a City Cup winner's medal. </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Matt_Doherty_Sr." class="mw-redirect" title="Matt Doherty Sr.">Matt Doherty Sr.</a>'s benefit game on 4 May 1955 against <a href="/wiki/Shamrock_Rovers" class="mw-redirect" title="Shamrock Rovers">Shamrock Rovers</a> he scored all 6 goals in a 6–1 win. After the game, Rovers' legend <a href="/wiki/Paddy_Coad" title="Paddy Coad">Paddy Coad</a> described Fay as the 'greatest prospect in Irish football'. </p><p>Finally, after years of trying, <a href="/wiki/Nottingham_Forest_F.C." title="Nottingham Forest F.C.">Nottingham Forest</a> prised Coyle away from Coleraine in March 1958. He played just three times for Forest, but never at the <a href="/wiki/City_Ground" title="City Ground">City Ground</a>, before returning homesick to Coleraine in the summer of 1958. </p><p>Back in the Irish League, Coyle added to his collection of North-West Senior Cup medals as Coleraine defeated his old and first club, Derry City, in the 1959 and 1960 finals. On 26 September 1963 he returned to his hometown club in Derry and captained them to the most successful period in their Irish League history.
