Adrian Coote
| Date of birth | 30 September 1978 |
| Place of birth | Great Yarmouth |
| Nationality | Northern Irish |
| Weight | 76 kg |
| Height | 1.88 m |
| Position | Forward |
This locally-born centre forward enjoyed a fantastic season of reserve-team football for Norwich City in 2000-01 averaging a goal per game, but he was unfortunately unable to match that success when called upon at senior level. A brave, whole-hearted performer with a useful left foot he is very strong in the air. Adrian earned a call-up to the full Northern Ireland squad for their World Cup qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Bulgaria in March, only to miss out through injury. A couple of goals at senior level would probably set him off on an excellent league career as he certainly knows where the goal is.
Adrian's contract at Colchester United was cancelled by mutual consent in October 2003.
