26 May 1989 is the red letter day in Michael's career as that was the day he scored the title-winning goal at Liverpool for which he will be forever remembered. A hard-tackling and strong-running midfield player a few eyebrows were raised when he moved to Anfield, but he helped the club win the FA Cup in 1992, scoring the first goal. He moved on to Benfica in 1998.
This vastly experienced player returned from Portugal to join Wimbledon during the 2000 close season but after featuring on a number of occasions in the early part of the campaign he fell out of contention and dropped back into the reserves. A hard-tackling and strong-running midfield player.
