He competed for Clyde, Chelsea, Everton, Tranmere Rovers, Kilmarnock, and Motherwell as a winger for 20 years.
He earned 28 caps for Scotland, strewned through his ten-year international career, and was selected for the UEFA Euro 1992 finals squad.
Nevin has worked as a motherwell chief executive as well as as a football writer and broadcaster since retiring as a player.
Personal life
Nevin grew up supporting Celtic. After feeling that his boyhood club had become a large corporate body, and the Celtic Park stadium no longer felt like home, he moved to Hibernian. Fans of Celtic music were chanting IRA songs for another reason. He also supports his former Chelsea club Chelsea and writes a weekly column for Chelsea's website. Nevin and his wife and two children live in Duns, Scotland, a tiny town in the Scottish Borders. His daughter, who was also an avid sports fan, was a Scottish champion in badminton. In 2012, he earned an honorary degree from Abertay University. Nevin is the cousin of the late English footballer Terry Butcher. Nevin wrote and published his autobiography in 2021.
Club career
Nevin was a youngster at Celtic but was turned away for being too small. In 1981, Clyde brought him home a new breed. The club was promoted to Scottish Second Division champions in their first season; Nevin scored 14 goals in 30 starts and was named SPFA Second Division Player of the Year. In his second season with the club, he scored six goals in 44 starts.
In 2011, he was inducted into the inaugural Clyde FC Hall of Fame.
Nevin joined Stamford Bridge in mid-1983 for £95,000, according to a team led by John Neal. Nevin became Chelsea's most popular player, and he became a fan favorite very quickly. He scored 14 goals, created several others for the likes of Kerry Dixon and David Speedie, and put in some spectacular performances as Chelsea promoted to promotion as Second Division champions in 1983-84. He was named Chelsea's Player of the Year in the same year.
Chelsea finished sixth in the First Division and reached the League Cup semi-finals in 1984–85. Chelsea defeated Sheffield Wednesday 3–0 down to draw 4–4, with Nevin scoring the winning goal scored by David Speedie in the replay. The club was in the championship race for the majority of the 1985-86 season, with Nevin scoring a late equalizer against Liverpool at Anfield and a crucial header against West Ham United to win by 2–1. Chelsea finished sixth after being in the title race for the majority of the year.
The club's results declined and they finished 14th in 1986–87, though Nevin was again named Chelsea Player of the Year. A year later, they were recalled.
Chelsea was relegated in 1988, but Nevin was sold to Everton. He scored 20 goals in 138 appearances for the club, but he had trouble capturing his previous form with manager Colin Harvey's switch to a more rigid system. In 1989, he helped the team reach the FA Cup final by scoring the winner against Norwich City in the semi-final, but the team lost 3–2 to arch rivals Liverpool.
Howard Kendall returned to the club as manager in November 1990; he and Nevin explicitly disagreed with each other, limiting Nevin's playing opportunities; Robert Warzycha and Mark Ward followed the arrival of new wingers.
Nevin was unfortunate to arrive at Everton during one of the country's finest spells, an FA Cup, and the European Cup Winners' Cup. In comparison, Nevin's four seasons at the club culminated in a runners-up medal (1989), the closest he's ever came to being part of a trophy-winning team, and the team never finished higher than sixth in the league (1990).
Nevin spent time on loan with fellow Merseyside club Tranmere Rovers, then in the second tier of English football before permanently signing in 1992. In three seasons (1992–93, 1993–94, and 1994–95), the club competed in the Division One play-offs, but they were disqualified in the semi-finals on each occasion.
Nevin returned to Scotland in 1997 and later played for Kilmarnock and Motherwell before retiring in 2000.
International career
Nevin, who was playing for Clyde in 1982, travelled to Finland to compete for the Scotland U18 team at the UEFA European Youth Championship, winning the tournament after helping Scotland win it. He appeared on the Scotland U20 team in the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Youth Championship the following year.
Nevin made his Scottish national team debut against Romania in 1986. He scored five goals in a ten-year international career and played at Euro 92, but he was not selected in the final squads for the 1986 or 1990 World Cups. He made his last appearance for Scotland in 1996 but did not appear at the Euro 96 finals.
Post-playing career
Nevin became Motherwell's chief executive after retiring as a player. He resigned in April 2002, shortly after Motherwell chairman John Boyle put the team into administration due to financial issues.
He appears on television and radio as a football pundit. In Ma Head, Son, Nevin co-wrote a book with psychologist Dr. George Sik. Nevin's concerns, motivations, and struggles during his Tranmere Rovers' 1996-97 season as he neared the end of his playing career.
He earned his bachelor's degree from Glasgow Caledonian University. His literary, graphic arts, and musical taste distinguishes him from those of his peers. To Phil Collins or Lionel Richie, he preferred The Fall and Joy Division. During his Everton and Tranmere career, he was interviewed by music magazine NME and was a guest music host on Radio City.
He performed Belle & Sebastian, Orange Juice, and "My New House" by The Fall while wearing a The Pains of Being Pure at Heart T-shirt at the second Bowlie Weekender, hosted by ATP. When speaking about the Man Utd vs. Arsenal match on Friday, the following day, he made an indiepop reference on 5 Live. He has appeared on Scared To Dance and How Does It Feel To Be Loved, two indiepop club nights in London. He appears on "Rockin With Rita" video from 1986 to Vindaloo Summer Special (with Robert Lloyd & The Nightingales and Fuzzbox).
After Colin Murray of BBC Radio 5 live said the new club should pay Nevin and Perry Groves as unused substitutes at every game in the 2010-11 season, Nevin signed as a non-playing substitute for new club Chester in 2010. This was live on 'Kicking off with Colin Murray', a show that Nevin has appeared on every week since the 2009–10 season.
