"Kevin Poole" is an English former professional association football/footballer who is the goalkeeping coach at Birmingham City F.C./Birmingham City.

During a career which has become best known for its longevity, Poole played in the Premier League for Leicester City F.C./Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers F.C./Bolton Wanderers, having also appeared in England's First Division for Aston Villa F.C./Aston Villa before the formation of the Premiership. He also featured for Northampton Town F.C./Northampton Town, Middlesbrough F.C./Middlesbrough, Hartlepool United F.C./Hartlepool United, Birmingham City F.C./Birmingham City and Derby County F.C./Derby County, before signing for Burton Albion F.C./Burton Albion in 2006, aged 43.

Latterly employed as goalkeeping coach in addition to being registered as a player, Poole made his final appearance for the club in 2010. He had an interim spell as manager in 2012, when he retired from playing at the age of 48; however, he has since re-registered himself as a player on two occasions due to goalkeeping crises at the club, making Poole one of the few players in English football ever to be registered to a professional club at the age of 50.
