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.
