OBE
Highs:
He is currently the 6th most capped English player, having captained the side for 9 years. He was also Manchester United's skipper for 12 years.
Broke the British transfer record with a £1,5 million move from WBA to Man Utd in 1981.
Despite his injuries was curiously a case of longevity, ending his career as Middlesbrough's player-manager at age 40.
Lows:
A very unlucky player as far as injuries are concerned, forcing him to miss large parts of various seasons and depriving his club and national team of one of their most influential players.
Endured a barren spell of 5 years without a trophy, between 85's and 90's FA Cups, with his first league trophy coming only in 93, when he was already 36 years old!
