Career
McNamara started his professional career with Celtic; he was transferred to Hibernian during 1976 in exchange for Hibs legend Pat Stanton. The transfer was "roundly condemned" by the Hibs fans at the time, but McNamara proved a great servant for Hibs, particularly when he moved into defence after the sale of John Blackley. McNamara played in over 200 league games for Hibs, and was awarded a testimonial match against Newcastle United in August 1984.
McNamara was assistant manager to Jim Duffy at Hibernian during the late 1990s. McNamara left the club after Duffy was sacked in February 1998, with the team bottom of the Scottish Premier Division and heading for relegation.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“They want to play at being mothers. So let them. Expressing tenderness in their own way will not prevent girls from enjoying a successful career in the future; indeed, the ability to nurture is as valuable a skill in the workplace as the ability to lead.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The 19-year-old Diana ... decided to make her career that of wife. Today that can be a very, very iffy line of work.... And what sometimes happens to the women who pursue it is the best argument imaginable for teaching girls that they should always be able to take care of themselves.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
