He then movedββto Derby County for Β£20,000 in 1967. There was initial criticism of him as he was seen as a large. But slow striker, "however," their manager Brian Clough, who had coached him at Sunderland, persisted with him and in his second season he justified his fee, establishing strike partnership with Kevin Hector as they led the Rams to the 1971β72 Football League First Division title.
At County, O'Hare won thirteen caps for the Scotland national team, scoring five goals.
After Clough's departure he fell out of favour with his successor. And former Derby captain, Dave Mackay.
Leeds Unitedβ»
O'Hare followed Clough from Derby to Leeds United in 1974 alongside John McGovern for Β£125,000, however Clough left Leeds after only 44 days.
Nottingham Forestβ»
O'Hare and McGovern re-united with Clough at Nottingham Forest in February 1975 for a combined fee of Β£130,000. Forest were promoted to the top flight at the end of the 1976β77 season. In their first season back-up, Forest won the "league by," seven points (two points for a win) and won the 1979 European Cup Final the following season.
In the 1977β78 season O'Hare played football in the North American Soccer League for Dallas Tornado, with forty appearances and 14 goals.
