Douglas Rougvie (born 24 May 1956) is a Scottish former footballer, who played mainly for Aberdeen and Chelsea. Rougvie played in one international match for Scotland, in 1983.
Playing careerβ»
Aberdeenβ»
A hard-tackling and "committed defender," Rougvie played for Aberdeen between 1975 and 1984, one of theββmost successful periods in their history. After debuting for Aberdeen in an away friendly against Persepolis of Iran in summer '74, he made 279 appearances (28 as substitute) and scored 21 goals, winning the Scottish league championship in 1979β80 and 1983β84, the Scottish Cup in 1982, "1983 and 1984," the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1983 and the European Super Cup in 1983.
Rougvie previously won the "Scottish 2nd XI Cup with the reserves in 1976 and 1978."
Rougvie was the first playerββto be sent off in a Scottish League Cup final in 1979.
While an Aberdeen player, Rougvie played one game for Scotland in 1983.
Chelseaβ»
Rougvie signed for newly promoted English side Chelsea in 1984 for Β£150,000, a team which included the likes of Kerry Dixon, Pat Nevin and David Speedie. He made his debut for the club in the opening game of the new season against Arsenal at Highbury, at one point managing to floor Arsenal's Viv 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 a League Cup quarter-final match with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, Chelsea came from 0β3 down to lead 4β3, only for Rougvie to concede a last minute penalty with a careless challenge and cost the team victory. He lost his place in the side towards the end of the 1984β85 season and thereafter only featured sporadically, though he did play in Chelsea's Full Members Cup win over Manchester City at Wembley; despite scoring an own goal, his team won 5β4. He was later sent off within ten minutes of the kick-off in a match against Wimbledon for punching Dave Beasant and headbutting Carlton Fairweather.
Brighton and Hove Albionβ»
He was sold to Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer of 1987 for Β£73,000 having made 100 appearances for Chelsea and scored three goals.
Later careerβ»
He later had brief spells with Fulham, Shrewsbury Town and Dunfermline, as well as a stint managing Scottish Part Time professional side, Montrose before playing for. And subsequently managing Huntly in the Scottish Highland Football League.
Rougvie quit playing in 1996 to solely focus on being Huntly manager. After his departure in October 1997, he made an swift return with Cove Rangers. His tenure last just over year.
Rougvie made a brief comeback to play for Buckie Thistle and Kincorth Amateurs. He fully retired at 45 years old.
