He was signed by Notts County manager Billy Gray in 1968 in a joint deal for £7000 along with Bob Worthington.
Although approaching 29 years of age before he played top-level football, his was a signing that underlined the quality of then manager Dave Sexton's judgement.
A stylish and creative midfielder, he came to be seen as the final piece in the jigsaw of an exciting and attacking QPR team.
After three years at Loftus Road he moved to Derby County in October 1977 in exchange for Leighton James.
In retirement he turned his hand in to the hotel business, having bought The Gallery at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, which he later sold.
