Scottish PFA Young Player of the Year
award.

Playing career

Club

Graeme Payne was born in

1974 Scottish Cup Final defeat against Celtic. Previously, Payne's goal against Heart of Midlothian in the semi-final replay had helped United through to what was their first appearance in the final of the competition.[2]

After his appearances during the 1975–76 season were limited by injuries, Payne re-established himself as a first team player in the latter part of the 1970s and won the first ever

1980 Final, when United retained the trophy against Dundee. By the 1980s, however, Payne was featuring less often in the first team. When Dundee United were Premier Division champions in 1982–83, he made only three league appearances and spent the second half of the season on loan to Morton.[2]

Payne left Dundee United in May 1984, joining Arbroath for a nominal transfer fee, and also had spells with Brechin City and St Johnstone before retiring from football to working the insurance industry.[2]

International

Payne represented Scotland at youth and under-21 international level. He was named in the preliminary pool of forty players for the 1978 World Cup, but didn't make the final squad and never appeared at full international level.[2]

Personal life

His brother, Kenny Payne, was also a professional footballer, who played for Arbroath and Forfar Athletic.[3][4][5]
