On his arrival at Edgar Street a £10 bet was placed by two supporters, at odds of 250-1, that he would score 30 goals in his first season as they thought Hereford had signed the former Arsenal and England striker. When they realised their mistake they asked for their money back, but the bookmakers refused to comply. They would have been better off staking that Ian would be Hereford's top scorer, as he went on to score nine goals in all competitions - more than any other Hereford player.

Ian became club captain and was a solid, first choice centre back through some of Hereford's most troubled times. He scored several vital goals for the club, including two in the 2001-02 FA Cup against Wrexham and Swindon. He played almost 200 competitive matches for the club, scoring almost 30 goals. He left in 2003 having trained as an electrician and wishing to play part-time. He joined Burton Albion where he scored on his debut, until a persistent ankle injury forced him to retire. However a year later he was back in action as defensive cover at Hednesford Town.
