Career

Maguire was taken to court later in his career for a tackle during his time with Queens Park Rangers which ultimately lead to the retirement of Danny Thomas, resulting in an out-of-court settlement of £130,000. He went on to make 40 league appearances at Loftus Road before moving to Portsmouth in January 1989 for a fee of £175,000.
However, he struggled to return to full fitness and, after a short period on loan at Scarborough, retired from professional football at the age of 26.
He eventually decided to play for Wales, making his international debut on 6 September 1989 in a 1–0 defeat to Finland as a substitute in place of Peter Nicholas. He played in Wales" next four matches before winning his final two caps fifteen months later, making his last appearance on 16 October 1991 in a 4–1 defeat to Germany.
Following his retirement, Maguire travelled the United States for over a year before returning to England where he worked as a personal trainer for two years. After a friend suggested moving into hairdressing, he undertook a nine-month course and now runs his own hairdressing business in Somerset.
