[edit] Newcastle United
A product of the famous Wallsend Boys Club he signed for his hometown club Newcastle United as an apprentice in July 1984 turning pro in December of 1985 just after his eighteenth birthday. A skillful, ball playing midfielder in the Paul Gascoigne mould he was favourite to take over from the Tottenham bound England star in the Newcastle team. Things however didn't work out quite as expected and after just 21 games for the Toon Army in which he scored 1 goal he was used as bait in manager Jim Smith's bid to bring Preston North End striker Gary Brazil to St James' Park. Valued by Smith at around the £100k mark, Bogie was originally dead set against the move, preferring to stay and fight for his place but after much persuasion by both Smith and Preston boss John McGrath he finally made the move to Deepdale.
[edit] Preston Playmaker
Having finally joined Preston, Bogie made his debut in a home league match versus Bristol Rovers, a game that ended 1-1. Bogie did however endear himself to the Preston fans immediately with his silky ball playing skills. His time at Deepdale was though a frustrating one for Bogie, Preston and the fans with the club beginning to struggle and Bogie himself frustrating the fans with some indifferent performances despite his obvious ability. After two and a half years at Preston in which he played 91 games scoring 12 goals Ian exorcised his right to speak to other clubs at the end of his contract and in August 1991 signed for Millwall for a tribunal set fee of £145k.
[edit] Millwall and Orient
His time at Millwall was much the same as at was at Preston with Bogie at times frustrating the fans despite his obvious talent, bordering at times on the sublime to being completely ineffective. In just over two years at The Den Ian played 57 games scoring just 1 goal before being sold to Leyton Orient for £75k in October 1993. His time at Orient was difficult however for although Ian was by now regularly putting in some excellent performances and he rarely missed a game he struggled to settle in London and was after 78 games and 5 goals sold to Port Vale in March 1995 for £50k.
[edit] Port Vale
His time at Vale Park was however a different story with Ian now putting in the sort of consistent match winning displays that had until this time evaded him. A favourite with the Vale fans he was a member of the giant killing Vale team that knocked Everton out of the FA Cup in 1996 and reached the final of the Anglo-Italian Cup at Wembley, eventually losing out to Genoa. His cult status was elevated further by his penchant for scoring winning goals against local rivals Stoke City. In a 1-0 victory at Vale Park in 1996, Bogie silenced the Stoke City following with a winning goal just 12 seconds after the kickoff. In five years at Vale Park Ian played 180 games in all competitions scoring 12 goals before being handed a free transfer in April 2000 and signing for Kidderminster Harriers.

Ian's time at the Aggborough Stadium was however short lived with him playing just 28 games (2 goals) in eleven moths there before leaving the struggling Football League 2 club to return back to his native North East and to Northern League side Bedlington Terriers where he took on the role of player coach. He stayed with Bedlington until hanging up his boots at the end of the 2003-04 season when he then took over as manager of Wade Associates Northern Alliance Premier League club Walker Central. Ian stayed there until the summer of 2006 when he left to take on the role of assistant manager of Unibond League side Gateshead a role he still holds to this day. Ian is also along with Rob Lee, Peter Beardsley, Warren Barton and John Beresford a regular member of the Newcastle United masters football team that competes every year against other ex players and there former clubs. In all Ian played 455 games for his various clubs scoring 33 goals and although at times he could be a frustrating player to watch when he was on form it really was a joy to witness.
