Dean was a formidable striker during his playing days. Starting at Swansea, including a loan spell at Cardiff, he moved on to Brighton and the Oxford.
It was whilst at Oxford that he really came to the attention of the bigger clubs. He moved to Derby in a million pound move that left Mark Lawrenson so incensed that he quit as Oxfords manager.
Whilst at Derby he was part of a successful strike partnership with Paul Goddard. Never failing to deliver, Saunders was a great striker who always had you on the edge of your seat.
Liverpool were the club Dean joined following Derby's relegation and he went on to Aston Villa, Galatasaray, Nottingham Forest, Sheffield United, Benfica and Bradford.
He cut his managerial teeth at Wrexham and then moved on to Doncaster before arriving at Molineux.
I'm sure Rams fans will give Dean a great reception tomorrow.
