Is it Steve Coppell? 2010 Episode 6

Born in the month and year that the hard disk drive was invented by a team at IBM this player made his debut and final appearance against the same side in the same year. In a career that spanned more than two decades he began at a club that featured a stroller in midfield before a stint in his native North East. His longest spell came under a future England manager before he arrived at S6 in the year that Beefy appeared on Desert Island Disks. Appeared for two more professional clubs before returning to his homeland and hung up his boots at the club attached to the place depicted in the photo

Bonus pointage available for telling me what was unique about this player’s departure from Hillsborough.
