Highs:
Was part of the Leeds title winning squad of 92, sharing midfield with Gordon Strachan, Gary MacAllister and David Batty.
Up until 07, scored in every Premiership, a feat later beat by countryman Ryan Giggs.

Lows:
A lack of titles and only two seasons of Champions League football, spaced 10 years apart (93 and 03). Both ending in disappointment as well.
