Edit Profile
Career
He appeared in the Football League for Coventry City, Blackpool, Plymouth Argyle, Carlisle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Portsmouth and Bournemouth, scoring 145 goals in 468 matches. Rafferty began his league career with Coventry City after joining them from Portuguese Glasgow but found opportunities few and far between. A move to Blackpool in 1972 saw him play and score more regularly before joining Plymouth Argyle a year later.
Their partnership contributed 47 goals to the campaign, with Rafferty scoring 26.
He then joined Carlisle United where he continued to score regularly. He moved on to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United before joining Portsmouth in 1980.
At Portsmouth he once again became a key striker, winning the Third Division championship in 1983 before joining Bournemouth, which would be his last league club in England.
