= Sam Tobin = Samuel Dennis Leroy Tobin (born 16 April 1985) is an English former professional footballer and performance analyst.

Arsenal
Tobin began his career with Arsenal but failed to make a single competitive appearance for the club. In 2004 he featured in Martin Keown's testimonial against an England XI, coming off the bench to replace Sol Campbell in the 68th minute. In July 2004, Tobin was included in the squad for Arsenal's pre-season tour of Austria, making substitute appearances in victories over Grazer AK and Sturm Graz.

Tobin was loaned out to Colchester United in August 2004, making two league appearances for the club before suffering a broken leg in training. The player returned to Arsenal for treatment but was released at the conclusion of the 2004-05 season.

Huddersfield Town
After his release from Arsenal, Tobin was signed on a free transfer by Huddersfield Town. However, due to the presence of senior defenders such as Andy Holdsworth and David Mirfin, Tobin was loaned out to Shenyang Ginde, Huddersfield's Chinese affiliate club, for the majority of the 2006 Chinese Super League season.

Happy Valley
Following a successful spell with Shenyang Ginde, Tobin signed permanently for Hong Kong First Division club Happy Valley ahead of the 2006-07 season.

Tobin was in and out of the team through injury during his first season, making nine appearances in the league and scoring one goal.

The 2007-08 season started well for Tobin as he became a first-team regular and Happy Valley mounted an early-season title challenge. However, Tobin suffered a torn ACL in Valley's 0-2 win over South China at Mong Kok Stadium on 29 March 2008.

Tobin left Happy Valley by mutual consent at the end of the 2007-08 Hong Kong First Division season. He announced his retirement from football three weeks later aged just 23.

Performance Analysis
In 2010, Tobin returned to Arsenal as a Performance Analyst. A trusted associate of Arsène Wenger and his coaching staff, Tobin remained in the role until Wenger's departure from the club in 2018.
