Quinn began his career in League football at Motherwell under the management of Bobby Ancell where he played alongside other "Ancell's Babes" such as Ian St John.[3] Quinn established himself as a scheming inside-forward before moving to Blackpool in 1962. A year later, he returned to Scotland to join Hibernian and was a key component of the team's midfield under Jock Stein and Bob Shankly. He was a finalist in the 1968–69 Scottish League Cup.
He finished his league career at East Fife, whom he went on to manage. He also coached FH.[4]
Quinn played four times for Scotland between 1961 and 1962.[5][6][2] Quinn also represented the Scottish Football League XI six times.[7]
