Playing career

Van Den Hauwe was brought up in London, and joined Birmingham City as an apprentice in July 1977. He made his debut in the First Division as a 17-year-old, on 7 October 1978 in a 2–1 home defeat to Manchester City.[1] He played 143 games for Birmingham in all competitions before joining Everton in September 1984 for a fee of £100,000. He helped them win the league title and European Cup Winners' Cup that season, as well as a second league title two years later[2] – when his goal against Norwich City at Carrow Road confirmed them as champions.[3]

In 1989 he signed for Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £575,000,[2] making his debut in a 2–0 defeat to Aston Villa on 9 September 1989.[4] He won the FA Cup with Tottenham in 1991.[2] In total he made 110 League appearances (six of them as substitute) between 1989 and 1993, but never scored.[4] He finished his Football League career with Millwall.[2]

He was commonly referred to as "Psycho Pat" by supporters, and used the nickname as the title of his autobiography.[5]
