Height: 6' 1"

Involvement with Chelsea:


Men's 1st Team Player from 1984 to 1987


Rougvie signed for Chelsea in 1984 for £150,000. He made his debut for the club in the opening game of the new season against Arsenal at Highbury, at one point managing to floor Arsenal's Viv Anderson with a crunching challenge. Though initially a regular in the side, Rougvie's lack of pace and often reckless tackling were to hamper his progress with the club. During a Milk Cup quarter-final match with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough, Chelsea came from 0–3 down to lead 4–3, only for Rougvie to concede a last minute penalty with a careless challenge and cost the team victory. He lost his place in the side towards the end of the 1984–85 season and thereafter only featured sporadically, though he did play in Chelsea's Full Members Cup win over Manchester City at Wembley; despite scoring an own goal, his team won 5–4. He was later sent off within ten minutes of the kick-off in a match against Wimbledon for headbutting John Fashanu.
