Signed from Clyde for about £20,000 in 1977 by Billy McNeill who had been his manager at Shawfield prior to moving to Pittodrie. The emerging potential of the striker was to flourish at Pittodrie. Was part of the Aberdeen side that won the Premier League in 1980. His heart set on a move to England he was sold for a record fee of approximately £1,000,000 (including tax) to Tottenham shortly after the Dons title success. This was close to the time that the South Stand was redevelloped and Alex Ferguson liked to refer to it as "Stevie's Stand."
Made his full international debut for Scotland against Portugal during his Pittodrie career. Also went on to play for Barcelona and currently resides in the Catalan area.
