Career
Paddy was a forward who played for Shamrock Rovers, Shelbourne, Morton, Celtic, Glentoran, Dundalk and Bohemians. Paddy Turner signed for Celtic from Morton in May 1963. The former Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers inside right was a cultured player and seemed to have settled well in Scotland producing some fine displays for the Cappielow club
However his debut in the Hoops was one to forget as the Bhoys lost 3-0 to Rangers at Parkhead in a League Cup tie on August 8.
Unfortunately for Turner his arrival at Parkhead coincided with the emergence of Bobby Murdoch and despite being more than a fair player himself Paddy was always going to be second choice behind the wonderful talent of Murdoch. Consequently after little more than one year and 14 games Paddy headed back across the Irish Sea to play for Glentoran.
While at The Oval (Belfast) he scored against Panathinaikos in the 1964-1965 European Cup. In November 1972, he signed for Bohs from Dundalk on a free transfer.
He made 17 league appearances in Bohs colours scoring 5 goals before he left the club at the end of the 1972/73 season.
