Timeline

1975

McPhail was sent off in the 75th minute for a second bookable offence, as Jordi Gomez's goal won the tie for Roberto Martínez's Swansea.

McPhail was dismissed once again when the two sides met at the same venue in the league, again for collecting two yellow cards.

Cardiff manager Dave Jones publicly criticised McPhail, stating that "he probably cost us all three points", in his post-match press conference.

1979

Stephen John Paul McPhail (born 9 December 1979) is an Irish former professional footballer and the sporting director of Shamrock Rovers in the League of Ireland Premier Division.

A play-making central midfielder, McPhail started his career at Leeds United in the Premier League.

1997

He began to make an impact on the first team during the 1997–98 season, making his debut in February 1998 against Leicester City, and went on to make several substitute appearances that campaign.

The highlight of his debut season was a 50-yard lob pass to Leeds and future Cardiff City teammate Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, which some Leeds fans described as "one of the passes of the season".

1999

He started to become a regular for the side during the 1999–2000 season, after making several sub appearances, when he was given a long run in the first team squad.

McPhail was rewarded with a new five-year contract at the Yorkshire club soon after.

McPhail got his first Leeds goals in a league match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 19 December 1999.

After manager David O'Leary left, Leeds went on to have several different managers over the next few years.

During this time, McPhail was hampered by injury, making it difficult to break into the team under Terry Venables or his successor Peter Reid.

He was loaned out to Millwall as a means of maintaining match fitness.

A second loan, this time at Nottingham Forest, could have been made permanent as both McPhail and Forest manager Paul Hart felt the move would be beneficial to his career, but Leeds rejected Forest's bid.

2000

During his time at Leeds, McPhail was involved in the club's 2000–01 UEFA Champions League run, appearing in memorable games against the likes of Barcelona and Lazio as Leeds reached the semi-finals.

2004

McPhail left Leeds in July 2004 to sign for Barnsley on a free transfer, becoming the first international player from Ireland to sign for the club since Gary Fleming in 1990.

McPhail made seventy-nine appearances for the Oakwell club in two seasons of League One football, the culmination of which coming with a victory over Swansea City in the League One Play-off final at the Millennium Stadium.

McPhail's Barnsley contract expired the following summer, and the midfielder departed the newly promoted club.

Cardiff City saw off competition from numerous other clubs to secure McPhail's services.

McPhail was an ever-present for Cardiff during his first season in Wales, and impressed to such an extent that he was handed a longer-term deal the following July.

During the injury-forced absences of club captain Darren Purse and vice-captain Riccardo Scimeca, McPhail stood in as the club's skipper.

2007

On 27 October 2007 he scored for Cardiff for the first time by finding the net in a 1–1 draw with Scunthorpe United.

On 30 November 2007, after an indifferent opening to the Bluebirds' campaign, McPhail spoke to local paper the South Wales Echo, claiming that the team's poor start was "all my fault".

McPhail found the net twice within the space of two months with goals against Hull City and Blackpool in the Championship.

McPhail also had the honour of leading Cardiff City out at Wembley for the FA Cup final, where City were beaten by a goal to nil by Premier League side Portsmouth.

2008

The start of the 2008–09 season saw McPhail make his one hundredth appearance in all competitions for Cardiff in a 1–1 draw with Doncaster Rovers on 16 August.

Two months later, he completed a centenary of league appearance in a 2–1 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

On 23 September, Cardiff met rivals Swansea City in a League Cup encounter at the Liberty Stadium in the first South Wales derby to take place in seven years.

Following the end of his suspension, McPhail returned in a thumping 6–1 win against Derby County at Cardiff City Stadium, playing a part in four of City's goals.

Four weeks later, he fell victim to another injury while playing against Nottingham Forest.

He was originally scheduled to be out for between six and eight weeks but, on 20 November 2009, he was diagnosed with lymphoma, the disease forcing him to miss a considerably longer period.

2010

McPhail returned to Cardiff's starting eleven on 5 February 2010 in a 5–1 defeat to Newcastle United, playing 75 minutes before being substituted.

2011

In the summer of 2011, McPhail changed his number to 37, the number he wore in his first season as a professional with Leeds United.

2012

McPhail was capped ten times for the Republic of Ireland national team, scoring one goal.
