Douglas Rougvie (born 24 May 1956) is a Scottish formerfootballer, who played mainly forAberdeen andChelsea. Rougvie played in one international match forScotland, in 1983.
A hard-tackling and committed defender, Rougvie played for Aberdeen between 1975 and 1984,[3] one of the most successful periods in their history. After debuting for Aberdeen in an away friendly againstPersepolis of Iran in summer '74, he made 279 appearances (28 as substitute) and scored 21 goals, winning theScottish league championship in1979–80 and1983–84, theScottish Cup in 1982, 1983 and 1984, theUEFA Cup Winners' Cup in1983 and theEuropean Super Cup in 1983.
Rougvie previously won the Scottish 2nd XI Cup with the reserves in 1976 and 1978.[4]
Rougvie was the first player to be sent off in aScottish League Cup final in1979.[5]
While an Aberdeen player, Rougvie played one game forScotland in 1983.[6]
Rougvie signed for newly promoted English side Chelsea in 1984 for £150,000, a team which included the likes ofKerry Dixon,Pat Nevin andDavid Speedie. He made his debut for the club in the opening game of the new season againstArsenal atHighbury, at one point managing to floor Arsenal'sViv Anderson with a crunching challenge. Though initially a regular in the side, Rougvie's lack of pace and often reckless tackling were to hamper his progress with the club.
During aLeague Cup quarter-final match withSheffield Wednesday atHillsborough, Chelsea came from 0–3 down to lead 4–3, only for Rougvie to concede a last minutepenalty with a careless challenge and cost the team victory. He lost his place in the side towards the end of the1984–85 season and thereafter only featured sporadically, though he did play in Chelsea'sFull Members Cup win overManchester City atWembley; despite scoring anown goal, his team won 5–4. He was later sent off within ten minutes of the kick-off in a match againstWimbledon for punching Dave Beasant and headbuttingCarlton Fairweather.[citation needed]
He was sold toBrighton and Hove Albion in the summer of 1987 for £73,000 having made 100 appearances for Chelsea and scored three goals.
He later had brief spells withFulham,Shrewsbury Town andDunfermline, as well as a stint managing Scottish Part Time professional side,Montrose before playing for, and subsequently managingHuntly in the ScottishHighland Football League.
Rougvie quit playing in 1996 to solely focus on being Huntly manager.[7] After his departure in October 1997,[8] he made an swift return withCove Rangers. His tenure last just over year.[9]
Rougvie made a brief comeback to play forBuckie Thistle and Kincorth Amateurs. He fully retired at 45 years old.[9]
