Timeline

1964

Gary McAllister MBE (born 25 December 1964) is a Scottish professional football coach and former player.

McAllister played primarily as a midfielder in a career spanning over nineteen years.

He started his career at local side Motherwell before moving south of the border to Leicester City at the age of 20.

1982

His senior debut was away to Queen of the South on 1 May 1982.

1985

McAllister scored eight goals in 70 appearances, culminating in a fine performance in the 1985 Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic.

With Motherwell he was more often a striker than a midfielder.

McAllister's performances in the cup caught the eye of Leicester City manager Gordon Milne.

He signed for the English club, along with Motherwell teammate Ally Mauchlen, for a combined fee of £350,000 in August 1985.

Although Mauchlen's greater experience cast McAllister as the 'make-weight' in the deal, he soon rose to prominence as an attacking force in Leicester midfield, impressing manager and fans alike with his accurate passing to feet, and confident range of skills on the ball.

During his first season at Filbert Street he adapted well to regular First Division football, and began to rise to prominence in creating chances for a team that included Steve Lynex and Alan Smith.

During Leicester's ultimately unsuccessful campaign to stave off relegation to Second Division that season under Milne's successor Bryan Hamilton, McAllister found himself employed in a variety of midfield and forward roles, which affected his form.

After Hamilton was replaced by David Pleat, however, his stylish playmaking abilities began to flourish.

Over the following three seasons his reputation quickly grew into being one of the best players in the Second Division, boosted by a respectable goal tally from midfield that included an uncommon number of well-executed strikes from unfavourable positions.

1988

He was named in the Second Division PFA Team of the Year in both 1988–89 and 1989–90 and was the subject of constant transfer speculation and interest by several First Division sides throughout the following term.

He turned down a heavily mooted £1.15 million move to Nottingham Forest to see out his contract with Leicester after Brian Clough apparently failed to impress him during an interview.

In five seasons with Leicester, McAllister played 225 games in total, scoring 52 goals.

1990

McAllister arrived at Leeds United on 2 July 1990 for a tribunal-determined fee of £1,000,000, and replaced the role vacated by Vinnie Jones when he left for Sheffield United.

The club had just achieved promotion to Division One, the top tier of English football at the time.

In McAllister's first season at Elland Road, Leeds finished fourth in the table and reached the League Cup semi-finals.

1996

He captained the team at Wembley Stadium in the 1996 League Cup Final, where they were beaten 3–0 by Aston Villa.

2000

McAllister later had spells at Premier League sides Coventry City, where he was credited with his role in helping the club avoid relegation repeatedly, and Liverpool, where he won a cup treble in 2000–01 at the age of 36.

McAllister also represented his national side for nine years, winning 57 caps and scoring five goals.

His leadership qualities were noticed, and he spent four years as Scotland captain in addition to two seasons as Leeds United captain.
