With Chelsea, FA Cup winner 1997
Signed by Bradford City in the summer of 2000, Dan featured both at right back and on the right-hand side of midfield for the Bantams, but wherever he played he always tried his best.
A quality signing for the Valley Parade club, he produced some intelligent play, but was sold to Southampton at the beginning of the new year as new boss Jim Jeffries began to cut the wage bill for City.
Quickly settling in at The Dell under his former manager Glenn Hoddle, he used his experience to great effect.
His attacking flair gave an extra edge to the Saints' attack and he netted winners against Leicester City and Manchester City in quick succession.
