Biography

Signed from Arsenal on a free transfer aged twenty, the full back made his first appearance against Motherwell in the League Cup at the start of the 1976-77 season.

The defender scored the first of his three goals against East Fife. His last appearance for the club was also in the League Cup against Celtic.

Dave made a total of thirty-eight appearances for the club before he was transferred to Partick Thistle for £10,000 in 1978.

After four seasons at Firhill, he was signed by Rangers and enjoyed a spell of similar length on the Ibrox books.

Dave also played for Airdrie before finishing his career at Forfar Athletic in 1992.
