He is chiefly associated with West Ham United, having played as an attacking midfield player and centre forward between 1967 and 1984, making 636 appearances and scoring 102 times, wearing the number 10 jersey. He won the FA Cup twice, in 1975 and 1980; in the latter, he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Arsenal with an header. 

He also played for England 47 times, scoring 5 goals. However, he only played in major tournaments twice. At Euro 1980 (Italy) he played in Englands opening game against Belgium (drawn 1-1), but was dropped for the second game versus Italy (lost 1-0). He was re-instated to the starting eleven against Spain and scored Englands first goal in a 2-1 win. World Cup 1982 was to see him limited as a substitute against Spain. England needed to win to qualify for the semi-final but were held to a 0-0 draw by the host nation Spain.

He attended Ripple Infants School and left Ilford County High School with 11 O-levels and 2 A-levels,

He was one of the most intelligent and cerebral footballers of his generation and had a very clean disciplinary record. Directly following the Bobby Moore, Martin Peters, Geoff Hurst era, he was the player who best exemplified West Ham's traditional commitment to attractive, entertaining football (even if this style of play did not bring consistent successes). Since retiring, he has taken up a number of positions in broadcasting and administration.
