Malcolm Douglas Briggs (born 14 September 1961) is an English former professional footballer born in Sunderland who played in the Football League for Birmingham City.[2] When he left school in 1977, he joined Birmingham City as an apprentice, and turned professional two years later. Briggs had not yet established himself as a reserve-team regular when manager Jim Smith unexpectedly named him as substitute for the First Division match away at Manchester City on 1 May 1979.[3] He made his debut coming on to replace Alan Buckley for what turned out to be a three-minute Football League career.[4] He left the club to join Durham City in August 1980.[3]
