Michael Denis Conway (born 11 March 1956) is an English former professional footballer who played as a winger in the Football League for Brighton & Hove Albion and Swansea City.
Conway was born in 1956 in Sheffield. He began his football career as an apprentice with Brighton & Hove Albion in 1972, and made his senior debut in the last match of the 1972–73 Second Division season, at home to Nottingham Forest on 28 April 1973.[1] At the age of, he became the club's youngest league debutanta record he held until 1987 when the 16-year-old Ian Chapman first appeared[1] [2] and scored the equalising goal, albeit via a deflection.[3] His club record as youngest goalscorer was only broken when Jake Robinson, also 16, scored in the Football League Trophy 40 years later.[4] Later in 1973, he represented England Youth.[1] Conway turned professional with Brighton in 1974, but played only once more for the team before joining Fourth Division club Swansea City in December 1975 for a £3,000 fee.[1]
Conway soon established himself in the first team and, according to a profile on Swansea City's website, "became a favourite with his pace and sparkling control on the left wing."[5] He was a member of the squad promoted from the Fourth Division in 1977–78, but was unable to enjoy playing at the higher level. He suffered serious injuries in a car crash,[5] attempted a comeback against Barnsley in April 1978, and during the match was rushed to hospital with liver damage, believed to have been a consequence of the accident.[6] That was his last professional appearance;[5] he had scored 12 goals from 63 league appearances. In May 1979, Swansea faced the Brighton team newly promoted to the First Division in Conway's testimonial match.[1]
