Profile by Tony Scholes
Burnley were just returning to the top flight of English football in 1973, having secured the Second Division title, when David Loggie arrived at Turf Moor as a 16-year-old apprentice.
The young striker, who had started as a goalkeeper with his school team, was much sought after and we beat a posse of clubs, most notably Ipswich, to bring him to Turf Moor.
He progressed through the junior teams and was only aged 18 when he made a First Division debut in a 3-1 defeat at Norwich in January 1976. It was a day of firsts and lasts. Besides being Loggie's debut it was also Joe Brown's first game as manager following the sacking of Jimmy Adamson and both Mick Docherty and Frank Casper played their last games for the club.
Prior to that he'd made substitute appearances in both League and FA Cups, replacing Willie Morgan in the FA tie at Blackpool in what was Adamson's last match in charge.
Loggie never featured in either cup competition again for Burnley and that appearance at Norwich proved to be the only First Division game he played in his career.
He was never able to establish himself in the first team and in the 1978, still only 21, he was transferred to York for £20,000. He joined a club that had been in freefall. They'd been relegated in both the 1975/76 and 1976/77 seasons and had finished third from bottom of the Fourth Division in 1977/78.
That slide was arrested somewhat with a tenth place finish in Loggie's first season at Bootham Crescent but they were sliding again in the next season which proved to be his last in English football.
He scored eleven times for York in fifty league appearances before moving to Holland in the summer of 1978, signing for Sparta Rotterdam alongside his old Burnley team mate and fellow Newbiggin boy Peter Robinson.
He enjoyed another thirteen years of league football with all but one of them spent playing in Holland, separated by one season with Lierse in Belgium.
They were successful years too, in the main. At Sparta he netted 25 goals in 49 games and in a six year spell with AZ Alkmaar scored 56 league goals in 127 appearances. At both clubs he was a crowd favourite.
On his retirement as a player in 1993 he moved into coaching for around five years before leaving the game.
