Michael Gordon Harford (born 12 February 1959), is an English former football player turned manager.
He is currently the chief recruitment officer at Luton Town, a club where he has spent a large portion of both his playing and non-playing career.
In addition to two separate spells as a player at Luton, including as part of the team that won the League Cup in 1988, Harford has been the club's director of football, first-team coach and manager; the latter role saw him lead Luton to victory in the Football League Trophy in 2009 & gloriously return in the 2018-19 season to guide The Hatters to champions of League One. Harford began his career in 1977 with Lincoln City, later moving to Newcastle United and Bristol City.
He moved to First Division side Birmingham City in 1982 and thereafter spent 16 seasons playing in the top division of English football for a number of clubs including Luton, Derby County, Chelsea, hometown club Sunderland, Coventry City and Wimbledon.
During his time at Luton, Harford was capped twice by England.
In total, Harford's transfer fees over his playing career amounted to over £2.25 million. As well as his non-playing roles at Luton, Harford was manager of Rotherham United in 2005 and has been caretaker manager of both Nottingham Forest and Queens Park Rangers.
He has also held assistant manager positions at Colchester United, MK Dons and Millwall, and coaching roles at Wimbledon and Swindon Town.
