Playing career
Evans began his senior career as a forward, at his home town club, Dunfermline Athletic. His career peaked at Aston Villa, where he formed a pivotal centre back partnership with Ken McNaught.

They also beat Barcelona over two legs to win the Super Cup in the following season.[5][6] Evans later became Villa club captain and helped them win promotion back to the First Division in 1988.
He finished his playing career with short, uneventful spells at Leicester City, Victoria Vistas,[7][8] and Darlington before retiring in 1991.
Evans won four caps for Scotland, all in 1982, and was a member of their 1982 World Cup squad.
