A hard-working forward and good crosser of the ball who repaid Terry Neill's faith to give good service to Arsenal. The ex-Colchester United man was signed on a free by Arsenal due to a clerical error. He kept his first team place for two seasons but lost his place in 1986-87 and despite scoring the late winner in the League Cup semi-final against Spurs he was released.
