Edward Colin Hendry (born December 7, 1965 in Keith, Moray) is a former Scottish professional and international football defender and manager currently without a club. His most recent stint in football was as manager of Scottish First Division side Clyde, from June 2007 until January 2008, when he chose to resign for family reasons.

Hendry first played for local clubs Keith and Islavale, mainly as a striker. He began his professional career in 1983 with Dundee, and in 1987 was picked up by Blackburn Rovers, where he was converted into a defender. He played over 100 games for Blackburn before joining Manchester City in 1989, where he was named Player of the Year in the 1989-90 season.. His days at City were numbered, however, after he fell out of manager Peter Reid's plans.

He was re-signed for Blackburn by Kenny Dalglish and helped them to great success including winning the Premiership. In 1998 he got a move back to Scotland to play with Rangers where he was signed by manager Dick Advocaat for £4 million. However, despite winning the domestic treble with Rangers in his first season, his time there was relatively unhappy with Advocaat claiming that Hendry was "not his type of player". After his spell at Rangers, Hendry also played for Coventry City and Bolton Wanderers, as well as Preston North End and Blackpool on loan, before retiring from playing football.

Overall, Hendry played more than 500 league games and scored more than 40 goals in playing career spanning some 20 years.

Hendry managed to win 51 caps for Scotland despite the fact that he was a latecomer to the international scene, not making his debut until he was 27. He captained Scotland in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. His last Scotland appearance, on March 28, 2001, saw Hendry score two goals in a 4-0 win over San Marino[1] but his international career was ended following a ban for six matches for elbowing San Marino substitute Nicola Albani.

Hendry landed his first managerial job in June 2004 when he was appointed manager of his former club Blackpool, but was dismissed by the club in November 2005 following a poor run of results.

In September 2006 Hendry joined Boston United as assistant manager, and in June 2007 he became manager of Scottish side Clyde. Hendry lost his first three games in charge. He picked up his first victory in a Scottish Challenge Cup tie against fellow Scottish First Division side Queen of the South in August 2007. His best run was a 6 game undefeated streak from November 2007 to December 2007. His final game in charge of Clyde was a Scottish Cup fourth-round match, which Clyde lost 1-0 to Dundee United.

Hendry resigned from his post as manager of Clyde on 18 January 2008, due to family reasons.[2]

His son, Kyle, plays for Clyde.
