Harrison was one of a rare breed: an Argyle apprentice who progressed through the ranks to become a first-team regular for eight seasions. An unassuming character, he was not a player of great flamboyance or outstanding skill, nor was he a big physical defender. He made his way in football through anticipation, good ball control and an innate ability to read the game. He was deployed as either a right-back or centre-back in his 11 years at Home Park, and played under seven different managers. Harrison left Argyle for Swansea City in 1985 and went on to play for Saltash United.
