An attacking full back, who formed a half of a notable full back pairing with Cyril Knowles during the clubs' successful spell in the 1970s. 

Joe joined Tottenham from St. Albans City in 1965.

Moved to Brighton and Hove Albion in 1975, but his career was ended by a knee injury in 1977.

Worked with former team-mate Dave Mackay in the Middle East as assistant manager at Sharjah in Dubai and at Al-Shabab.

His management career in this country started with Mackay at Doncaster Rovers and then took over after the Scot had moved on.  He became reserve team manager at Wimbledon in 1991 and became first team manager two years later.  In 1999, Kinnear had a slight heart attack and resigned from managing the Crazy Gang in June of that year, before becoming Director of Football at Luton Town in 2001, when he was back to full fitness. He left the Hatters after two years and then, in 2004, turned up as manager of Nottingham Forest, where he remained in charge for 11 months. 

In September 2008, he was surprisingly chosen to be the interim manager at Newcastle United while the club was in the throes of being sold by Magpies chairman Mike Ashley.
