Moved to Leeds from Southampton in 1985 for ????75,000. The robust striker, who's aggression often got him in trouble with the referees, was United's top scorer in 1986/87, but moved to Portsmouth in the close season for ????285,000. A hard up Portsmouth allowed him to return to Leeds for ????185,000. The advent of Lee Chapman saw him move on to Middlesborough for ????500,000 where he scored two goals against Newcastle United on the final Saturday of the season to ensure his new team staved off relegation and his old team gave him a Second Division championship medal! He made 190 appearances and scored 57 goals.
