Adrian was nicknamed “Inchy” because of his small physical appearance. In 1980–81, he scored 7 goals in 41 matches and 5 goals in 20 matches in the following year. He joined Everton in January 1982 after proving his ability to be the most sought-after midfielder in the country. He retired at the end of the 1996–97 season.
