Born in Belgium and raised in England, he chose to play international football forWales, making 13 appearances.
Born in Belgium with an English mother, Van Den Hauwe was brought up inLondon, and joinedBirmingham City as an apprentice in July 1977. He made his debut in theFirst Division as a 17-year-old, on 7 October 1978 in a 2–1 home defeat toManchester City.[3] He played 143 games for Birmingham in all competitions before joiningEverton in September 1984 for a fee of £100,000. He helped them win the league title andEuropean Cup Winners' Cup that season, as well as a second league title two years later[4] – when his goal againstNorwich City atCarrow Road confirmed them as champions.[5]
In 1989, he signed forTottenham Hotspur for a fee of £575,000,[4] making his debut in a 2–0 defeat toAston Villa on 9 September 1989.[6] He won theFA Cup with Tottenham in1991.[4] In total he made 110 league appearances (six of them assubstitute) between 1989 and 1993, but never scored.[6] He finished his Football League career withMillwall.[4]
He was commonly referred to as "Psycho Pat" by supporters, and used the nickname as the title of his autobiography.[7]
As a player with British citizenship born outside the UK,eligibility rules of the time meant that Van Den Hauwe qualified to play for the national football team of any of the fourHome Nations—England,Scotland,Wales orNorthern Ireland. Van Den Hauwe spurned offers from England underBobby Robson and Belgium underGuy Thys to represent Wales,[8] having been recommended toMike England by Everton team-matesKevin Ratcliffe andNeville Southall. It was often speculated in the press that Van Den Hauwe had made this decision because he had Welsh ancestry, but according to his autobiography this was not the case. "No parent or grandparent—or even great grandparents—of mine were Welsh", he wrote.[9]
Van Den Hauwe made his international début for Wales in a1986 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group 7 game versusSpain which ended with a 3–0 victory at theRacecourse Ground on 30 April 1985.[9] His last game for Wales came on 26 April 1989 in a friendly 2–0 loss againstSweden, also at the Racecourse Ground.[10]
