His first goal for Dundee United was one of two he scored in a 2-2 draw with Rangers at Tannadice on 5 April 1975. Dundee United finished fourth in the League that year. In the following season, he made 18 League appearances, eight as sub, and scored three times. He was also played as a substitute in two of the three Scottish Cup ties and was on from the start in five out of six League Cup games and scored once.

1976-77 not only saw Dundee United consolidate their Premier League position but throughout the campaign Paul Sturrock was an ever-present, playing in all 36 League games and incredibly, scoring 15 times. Adding that total to one each in the Scottish Cup and League Cup he was top scorer at the Club that year. He played in United’s only Scottish Cup tie, a 4-1 defeat at Paisley. He also appeared four times plus once as sub out of the six League Cup ties. In a short-lived Anglo Scottish Cup campaign he was brought on as sub in one leg of the tie against Aberdeen. This season was also significant in international terms for Paul as he made his Under-21 debut against Czechoslovakia in a 0-0 draw on 12 October 1976 in the first ever Scotland Under-21 side. Four months later on 9 February 1977 he netted his first international goal in an Under-21 game in which Scotland beat Wales 3-2. is the 285th day of the year (286th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

1982-83 was to prove to be, arguably, the pinnacle of Paul’s career at Dundee United (although some might say that his World Cup Finals appearance three years later was his zenith). In a season that saw United lose only four League games, they won the Scottish League Championship and Paul contributed to this success with eight goals in his 28 appearances. He also set up Ralph Milne for his spectacular fourth minute opener against Dundee in the final League game and set the side on the final steps to the ultimate reward. The Scottish Cup that year had been yet another early exit at the hands of St. Mirren. Paul scored seven in the nine games he turned out in on the way to a League Cup quarter-final exit. He also played in seven of the eight games and scored once in a UEFA cup run that ended with an exit in Prague. Ralph Milne (born 13 May 1961) was a Scottish professional footballer who played for Dundee United, Charlton Athletic, Bristol City and Manchester United. ...

His playing career ended in 1989. In 385 league appearances from 1974 to 1989 he scored 109 goals for the club. His final tally of 576 games in which he scored 171 goals makes him Dundee United’s top attacking player of all time.

Paul stayed at Tannadice for the next five years as a coach, passing on his knowledge in the role of coach. He left the Club in 1993 after twenty years continuous service.

He once held the record for the most goals in a Scottish Premier League fixture, scoring five times for Dundee United against Morton on 17 November 1984. This has since been equalled in 1997 by Marco Negri for Rangers against Dundee United, by Kenny Miller in 2000 for the Ibrox club against St. Mirren and by Kris Boyd for Kilmarnock against Dundee United in 2004.

St. Johnstone and Dundee United

In 1993, he became the manager of a First Division team, St Johnstone. During this time, he is reported to have suffered a heart attack, although he claims that he only suffered hyperventilation, brought on by tiredness and stress; nonetheless he guided them to promotion in 1996-97.

In September 1998 Sturrock was appointed manager at Dundee United. He made a bright start to his time as manager at Tannadice, where he was feted by the fans for his excellent spell as a player. His United team failed to recover from the sale of top scorer Billy Dodds in December 1999, when they were lying third in the table. The team scored few goals following Dodds' departure, and Sturrock resigned after two games of the 2000-01 season.

Plymouth Argyle

Sturrock shocked Dundee United fans by resigning from the club in August 2000. [1] Perhaps more shockingly, he made a bold move to manage Plymouth Argyle, a club which was struggling in the English Division Three. The following season, he guided them to the Division Three title with a record points total of 102. In October 2003, Sturrock had successfully taken Argyle back to the top of the Football League Second Division and left when Plymouth Argyle had just 12 games to play in what would prove to be another season when they would finish divisional champions. As a result of his success at Home Park he has remained a folk hero and was named as the manager of Argyle's all time team.

Southampton

Sturrock was named as the successor to Gordon Strachan as manager of Southampton on 4 March 2004. On 23 August 2004 [2] it was announced that Sturrock was leaving the club 'by mutual consent', after a disappointing run of form and rumours of player unrest and boardroom dissatisfaction with his management.

Sheffield Wednesday

He was then appointed by League One club Sheffield Wednesday languishing in 14th place on September 23, 2004, and he guided the club to the League One play-offs. After beating Brentford in the semi-final with an aggregate score of 3-1, Sturrock took Wednesday to the play-off final at the Millennium Stadium and beat Hartlepool United 4-2 after extra-time, winning promotion to the Championship.

Despite numerous injuries to key players he helped Wednesday to finish 10 points clear of relegation in their first season back in The Championship.

A slow start to the 2006-07 season sparked rumours that Wednesday were about to sack Sturrock, but this speculation looked to be false when he agreed a new four-year contract on 14 September. But he was sacked on the evening of 19 October[3], just five weeks and 3 games after agreeing this new deal.

Swindon Town

In late October, 2007 Swindon Town allowed their management team of Dennis Wise and Gustavo Poyet to join Leeds United. Wise had stabilised the Wiltshire outfit after being relegated into League One as a result of the disastrous 2005/2006 campaign under Andy King and later Iffy Onuora. Swindon had begun the season well but the Swindon season was beginning to stagnate during the latter stages of Wise’s tenure.

Meanwhile, after a surprising and emotional departure from Sheffield Wednesday the Scotsman declared that he would accept the first job offered to him. There were speculative rumours that Edinburgh based Scottish Premier League outfit Hibs were interested in Sturrock but the rumour was soon quashed after Hibs appointed John Collins.

Sturrock's first game in charge came in the FA Cup tie versus Carlisle United, Swindon winning 3-1. The Robins won the following three games (none of which were convincing performances) before a 2-0 loss at Mansfield Town put an end to Sturrock's unbeaten run.

Throughout the remainder of the campaign, Swindon Town grinded out results often settling for one goal advantages. With Swindon, Lincoln City and MK Dons all fighting for the last automatic promotion spot. Sturrock brings in Barry Corr from his old club Sheffield Wednesday in time for the televised fixture at promotion rivals Lincoln City - Corr's presence changes Swindon's fortunes in the final games of the season including a debut goal against Lincoln, a 3-2 win.

Thus far, Sturrock's tenure at Swindon Town has has seen the Scot gain a reputation of bringing in staff and players that has worked under Sturrock during various sections of his managerial career - these include...
