Career
Scanlon moved from East Stirlingshire to Notts County for a fee of £10,000.[1] In November 1974 he scored a hat-trick against Sheffield Wednesday, taking 165 seconds from the first to the third goal, a club record.[1] In 1977, after being dropped for a game against Carlisle United, Scanlon walked out on Notts County.[1] After openly considering retirement from football, and making false claims to have inherited money, he joined Aberdeen.[1] Scanlon won the Scottish Football League Premier Division with Aberdeen in 1979–80,[2] before being sold to St Mirren in part exchange for Peter Weir.[1] He played 140 games for the Saints, scoring 40 goals, including competing in the UEFA Cup in 1983–84 and 1985–86 before retiring in May 1986.[3][4][5]
