Signed from Derby County for £300,000 by Gordon Milne one week into the 1980-81 season, the former Manchester United midfield player had a galvanising effect in his first season at Coventry. With the departure of Tommy Hutchison he was the senior professional and led Milne’s team of young players to the League Cup semi final bringing out the best in players like Andy Blair and Steve Hunt.
Following Dave Sexton’s arrival his form dipped and he lost his place to Gerry Francis. In 1983 he was completely in the cold and joined Gordon Milne at Leicester, helping them to Promotion to the top division. He was back in favour the following season under Bobby Gould but was released in 1984 and signed for Birmingham. He later had spells at Shrewsbury, Stoke and Doncaster before going into management with Telford United. During his City career he was a regular in the Republic of Ireland team and won 16 caps out of a total of 48.
