After moving to Blackpool in 1962, he spent a year with the Seasiders before he returned home to join Hibs. 

Quinn became 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.

Motherwell paid tribute to their former player, writing: "We are saddened to hear of the death of Pat Quinn at the age of 84.

"One of the club’s famous Ancell Babes, the inside forward made 251 appearances for the club between 1955 and 1962, scoring 119 goals.

"Quinn was a star man in the side, and would receive international recognition through four Scotland caps during his time at Fir Park.

"He would be sold to Blackpool in 1962 for £34,000, a significant sum for the times. He also went on to play for Hibernian and East Fife.

"Our thoughts are with Pat’s family and friends at this time."
