Club career

Archdeacon began his career with local side Gourock United before signing for Celtic in August 1982. A versatile player, he was usually employed at left back, although he was equally happy anywhere in defence. An injury dented his confidence however and he became a peripheral figure at Celtic Park in his last few seasons.[1] Whilst at Celtic he made a single appearance for the Scottish under-21 team in a 1987 game against West Germany.[2]

In July 1989 he moved to Barnsley for £80,000 and became a fixture for the Yorkshire club in the following seasons. He left the club in 1996 to join Carlisle United and was a regular member of the team during a season and a half there. Late in 1997 former Celtic team-mate Billy Stark paid £100,000 to take him to Greenock Morton and Archdeacon played for his home town side until his retirement in 1999.

Retirement

Since retiring Archdeacon has turned out for the Celtic legends team.[3] His son Mark Archdeacon is currently under contract with Brechin City after leaving Motherwell in the summer of 2010.
