A striker , Jack began his career with Ross County , where he played in the Highland Football League at the age of 14 . He then joined Everton , initially as an apprentice before graduating to the professional ranks . He made only a solitary , goalscoring appearance , for Everton and , after a loan spell at Cardiff City , he joined Norwich City for £ 20,000 in December 1979 . He would have to wait almost a year before making his Norwich debut against Ipswich Town in the League Cup in September 1980 . In the 1981 – 82 season , he scored 10 league goals for Norwich and , with two in the FA Cup and two more in the Football League Cup , was the club 's leading scorer for the season . In the summer of 1983 , a fee of £ 15,000 secured his transfer to Lincoln City where he remained for the next two seasons . His last game for Lincoln , and in England , was in May 1985 , against Bradford City , in a game overshadowed by the Bradford City stadium fire , which killed 56 spectators . In July 1985 , he returned to Scotland to join Dundee . In October 1987 , Dunfermline Athletic 's manager Jim Leishman paid £ 15,000 to secure Jack 's services and he made an instant impression , scoring on his debut in a 3 – 2 away defeat to Motherwell . In each of his three seasons at the club , Jack would finish as Dunfermline 's leading scorer , his most successful season being the 1989 – 1990 campaign when he was the second highest goalscorer in the Scottish Premier League , his 16 league goals placing him just one goal behind John Robertson . In July 1991 a fee of £ 45,000 was sufficient to see Jack move to Kilmarnock . Following a brief loan to Sligo Rovers ( January – March 1993 ) , Jack was appointed player-manager of Montrose in March 1993 . His spell would last only six months and in October 1993 he moved on to Ayr United before retiring from the professional game at the end of the 1993 – 1994 season
