McLintock led Arsenal to their sixth Wembley final in 1972 (which they lost to Leeds), and second place in the First Division following year, before being sold to QPR in June 1973. He spent four seasons with the Hoops, and was part of the side that qualified for the UEFA Cup after finishing a close second to Liverpool in 1976, finally retiring in 1977. In all, he played over 700 times, including 403 matches for Arsenal; he also won nine caps for Scotland. He was made an MBE in 1972.
After retiring from playing, he had an unsuccessful stint as manager of his old club Leicester, then manager of Brentford, and later was a coach at Millwall, helping the club gain promotion to the old Division One. He has also eked out a successful career as an after dinner speaker, and as a pundit for first BBC Radio, and more recently Sky Sports.
