Club Career |
|
Club(s) |
Began his football in the Sevenoaks
League with Knole Juniors FC, before joining Tonbridge Angels FC in July
1967. Bobby Robson's Fulham FC signed him as a full-back in August 1968
for £1,000. But after thirteen league appearances and five goals,
Luton Town AFC then took him for £17,500 in July 1969, moving him to
centre-forward, scoring an astonishing 49 goals in 88 league
appearances. Newcastle United FC signed him for £180,000 in May
1971, and after 187 league appearances and 95 goals, he
returned to London in July 1976 when Arsenal FC paid £333,333 for his
services. Macdonald retired in 1979, because of a knee injury that he
received in a League Cup match against Rotherham United FC in late 1978.
He played in 84 league matches, scoring 42 goals. Despite
an attempt to resurrect his career in Sweden and Djurgårdens IF
(nine league appearances, two goals), he would never recover. |

Beyond England |
|
After leaving Fulham FC in 1984, he
became a licensee in Worthing. Macdonald descended into alcoholism after
leaving the game, something he blamed on the pain from his long-standing
knee injury. He quit drinking in 1997 after a successful knee operation.
He now holds a chat show 'The Three Legends' on Star Radio, after Real
Radio axed the show in 2012, in the north-east of England. He is also a
regular contributor to the Backpass magazine. -
