The defining moment of his playing career came in the 1988 FA Cup final, when he scored the winning goal for Wimbledon against Liverpool, producing one of the biggest upsets in the competition's long history. As a manager, he took third-tier Wycombe Wanderers to the semi-finals of the 2000–01 FA Cup, losing 2–1 to Liverpool. After he was sacked by Wycombe Wanderers, he drove Northern Ireland from a FIFA ranking of 124th to 27th, a period during which he notched up notable results against England, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and Portugal.
