[edit] Early career

Crawford, who plays as a striker, began his career with Raith Rovers in 1992. Two years later, Raith beat Celtic in a penalty shootout during the Coca-Cola Cup, earning Crawford a Coca-Cola Cup winner's medal. Raith also played in the UEFA Cup against Bayern Munich.

After the 1995-96 season, Crawford moved on to Millwall, where he spent a single season and scored 10 goals. Hibernian gained Crawford's help in 1997, and made it to the Scottish Premier League by 1999. Crawford moved to Dunfermline Athletic on loan in 1999-2000, and stayed in Dunfermline for a number of years, scoring a total of 55 goals in 149 appearances. His best season was 2003-04, in which he scored 23 goals.

He moved to Plymouth Argyle, where he stayed for just a few months, before moving back up north to sign for Dundee United in January 2005. His time at Tannadice was equally short-lived, although he did win a Scottish Cup runners-up medal in his time there.

After joining Aberdeen at the start of the 2005/06 season, Crawford returned to Dunfermline in August 2006, despite being a regular starter at Pittodrie and among the top league scorers at the time.

Over the course of his career, Crawford has won 25 caps for Scotland, scoring four goals.
