Armstrong was noted for his remarkable durability – for many years he was ever-present in the #11 shirt for Boro, and as a testament to this, he was awarded a testimonial whilst aged only 25.

Armstrong’s contributions aided Southampton to reach the FA Cup semi-final in 1985–86 and in the same season, he scored 10 league goals

However, he was dropped from the team during the 1986–87 season, scoring just once in 22 league games.

At the end of that season, he dropped down a division to sign for AFC Bournemouth, where he spent one season before retiring as a player.

Armstrong was Southampton FC’s Player of the Season in 1983–1984, and he also made three appearances for the England international team between 1980 and 1984.
