A phenomenon in Scotland for Celtic, Nicholas had a difficult time making the transition from Scotland to England.
Best remembered for ending the "Rush Legend" of Liverpool by scoring two gaols in the Littlewood's Cup (Football
League Cup) final in 1987. Nicholas' two goals ended Arsenal hiatus without a trophy for eight years.
