Karl Anthony Duguid (born 21 March 1978) is an English former professional footballer. He spent the majority of his playing career with Colchester United where, over two stints, he made over 400 league appearances. He also played for Plymouth Argyle before finishing his professional career at Colchester, where he became a coach following his retirement in 2014.
After leaving his coaching role at Colchester in October 2014, Duguid returned to playing with Stanway Rovers the same month, before joining Welling United in the Conference in January 2015. He returned to Stanway after two months with Welling, before making a move to Needham Market in the summer of 2015, where he became academy manager alongside former Colchester teammate Kemal Izzet. He joined Heybridge Swifts in May 2016, and was appointed manager of Stanway Rovers in December 2016. In June 2018, Duguid returned to Heybridge Swifts and was appointed as assistant manager, later serving as manager from 2019 to 2020. After a short stint as assistant manager at Stanway Rovers in 2021, he was appointed joint manager of Coggeshall Town. He returned to Stanway as manager the following year, leaving in 2023.
Playing career
=Colchester United=
Duguid, born in Letchworth, had been at Colchester United since he was a 16-year-old, coming up through the youth team scheme at Layer Road. He was playing in the first team by the age of 17 as a second-year YTS.{{cite web|title=Progress Report: Karl Duguid|url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/features/20120220/progress-report-karl-duguid_2293307_2617337|publisher=The Football League|access-date=15 July 2012|date=20 February 2012}} He missed a crucial penalty as Colchester lost the 1997 Football League Trophy Final in a shootout against Carlisle United. He helped the club win promotion to the Second Division in 1998, via the play-offs. A serious knee injury ruled him out of the whole 2004–05 season. However, he returned as captain and led Colchester to promotion to the Championship for the first time ever, followed by their highest ever league position 12 months later. After the first year in the Championship, Duguid kicked off 2007–08 campaign by making his 400th appearance at Sheffield United on the opening day. He signed a new contract in January 2007, and played in all but three of the U's league games but was unable to prevent them from suffering relegation back to League One.
Duguid's status with the Colchester fans was demonstrated when he was voted the club's best ever player in a poll to mark the centenary of the Professional Footballers' Association. He made nearly 450 appearances for the U's in midfield or on the right side of defence in his first stint with the club.{{cite web|title=Duguid to be true|url=http://www.pafc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10364~1332562,00.html|publisher=Plymouth Argyle F.C.|access-date=15 July 2012|date=24 June 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080928013838/http://www.pafc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10364~1332562,00.html|archive-date=28 September 2008|url-status=dead}}
=Plymouth Argyle=
On 24 June 2008, Duguid ended his 14-year association with Colchester by signing a two-year contract with Championship club Plymouth Argyle, for an undisclosed fee. Duguid made his Argyle debut on 9 August 2008, starting the club's first league game of the 2008–09 season, against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 2–2 draw. He soon became a fan favourite, and his first goal for the Pilgrims was a crucial one – it came at Watford in a 2–1 win, giving Argyle their first win of the season.
Argyle played Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in an FA Cup 3rd Round tie on 3 January 2009. The hosts were 2–0 up after the break, but Duguid scored a consolation goal soon after, with Arsenal eventually winning 3–1. He began the 2009–10 season as a first-team regular once more and scored his second goal for the club against Newcastle United. At the end of the 2010–11 season, Duguid was one of nine first team players released by the club after being relegated to League Two.{{cite news|title=Nine out of contract players released by cash-strapped Plymouth Argyle|url=http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/contract-players-released-cash-strapped-Plymouth-Argyle/story-12689326-detail/story.html|access-date=20 July 2011|work=The Plymouth Herald|date=20 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120612032940/http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/contract-players-released-cash-strapped-Plymouth-Argyle/story-12689326-detail/story.html|archive-date=12 June 2012|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=Plymouth Argyle release nine first-team players|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13476973.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=20 July 2011|date=20 May 2011}}
