Theo Foley (2 April 1937 – 26 June 2020) was an Irish association footballer and football manager/coach.
He was born in Inchicore, Dublin, Ireland.
During his footballing career, he played as a defender for Home Farm, Exeter City, Northampton Town and Charlton Athletic.
He also appeared nine times for the Republic of Ireland.
In the mid 1970s Foley was assistant manager, then manager, at Charlton Athletic.
This was followed by a spell as assistant manager at Millwall, reserve team coach at Queen's Park Rangers and another spell as assistant manager at Millwall from December 1982 to George Graham.
On 14 May 1986 Foley became assistant manager of Arsenal when Graham was appointed manager. Graham and Foley's focus was on organised defence and strong running resulting in the club winning a League Cup and Football League Title together.
