Ian Petrie Redford (5 April 1960 – 10 January 2014) was a Scottish professional footballer, who played as a midfielder.

Career

Redford began his career at Errol Rovers, a youth football team set up by his father.[2][3] He came up through the youth system at Dundee and made his first appearance for the senior team as a substitute just 11 days after his 17th birthday.[4]

He also played professionally for Rangers, Dundee United, Ipswich Town, St Johnstone, Brechin City (as player/manager) and Raith Rovers.[5] Redford played mostly as a striker during his time at Dundee F.C. and is remembered for scoring the goals that clinched the First Division Championship in the 1978/79 season.[4]

Redford joined Rangers in February 1980 from Dundee for what was then a record Scottish fee of £210,000 and played for six seasons when Rangers won four domestic cup trophies.[6] Redford went on to play for Dundee United during one of this club's most successful spells in its history and scored the winning goal against Borussia Monchengladbach in the semi final of the UEFA Cup in 1987.[7]

While playing with Raith Rovers, he won a First Division Championship medal and a League Cup medal.His League Cup medal came as a substitute in the final, and this was his last game as a professional.[8]

Personal life and death

After retiring from football he provided fishing holidays in Perthshire.[9]

His autobiography 'Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head' was published in November 2013.[10]

In an interview given in October 2013 Redford discussed becoming deaf in one ear as a child and how he had hidden this fact during his football career.[11] In December 2013 he described the loss of his younger brother Douglas as a turning point for his family.[12]

Redford was found dead on the morning of 10 January 2014 in Irvine, North Ayrshire.[13]
