Gary impressed with his accurate passing to feet, and confident range of skills on the ball. Scored an uncommon number of well-executed strikes from unfavourable positions and volleys. McAllister began his playing career at Motherwell, where he scored eight goals in 70 games. He caused quite a stir with his appearance in the semifinals of the Scottish Cup final against Celtic in 1985, when he was discovered by Gordon Milne, the manager of Leicester City.
