I was born in Portsmouth in the 1960's and played a few games for my home town club before playing for Wrexham, Leicester City and a number of other lower division clubs. I eventually joined Burnley in the early to mid 1990's from a Potteries club for a fee of £150,000 and played as a fast, exciting forward. As with last weeks quiz subject I played relatively few games for Burnley but managed to get myself a nickname as I was popular with the Burnley fans.
