Pat is a key part of BBC Radio 5 Live's
European Championship commentary team
broadcasting from Austria and Switzerland,
and has been a co-commentator throughout
the 2008 football season.
Pat enjoyed a 20-year career including periods
at Clyde, Everton, Tranmere Rovers,
Kilmarnock and Motherwell – and, most
famously, for Chelsea, where he gained
legendary status as a tricky, inventive winger.
Known as an intelligent and individual performer
with interests and musical tastes outside that of
the usual footballers, Pat was immortalised as
the game's first "indie" footballer and graced the
cover of NME magazine.
Nevin won 28 caps for the Scottish national
side, making his debut against Romania in
1986. He scored five goals in a 10-year
international career and played at the
European Championship in Sweden in 1992.
