Paul Telfer (born 21 October 1971 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish footballer.
He currently is without a club having previously played for Celtic, Southampton, Luton Town and Coventry City. Telfer has had a long association with manager Gordon Strachan, having played for him at three different clubs. On 3 December 2006, Telfer announced he would not renew his contract with Celtic because he wished to spend more time with his family in Winchester.[1] On the 2nd of April 2007 Telfer brought forward his retirement and officially left Celtic to be with his family in England.[2]
In 1992, Telfer and then Luton teammate Darren Salton were involved in a horrific car crash. Telfer suffered only minor injuries and went on to make a full recovery, while Salton almost died and was forced to quit football following the accident.[3]
Telfer has one Scotland cap, won in a friendly defeat by France in 2000. He is the nephew of former Scotland, Hearts, Chelsea and Dundee United midfielder Eamonn Bannon.
