as an apprentice in July 1984, turning pro in December 1985 just after his eighteenth birthday. A skillful, ball playing midfielder
in the Paul Gascoigne
mould he was favourite to take over from the Tottenham
bound England
star in the Newcastle team. However, after only 21 games for the Toon Army in which he scored one goal, he was used as bait in manager Jim Smith
's bid to bring Preston North End
striker Gary Brazil
to St James' Park
. Valued by Smith at around the £100,000 mark, Bogie was originally against the move, preferring to stay and fight for his place but after much persuasion by both Smith and Preston boss John McGrath he finally moved to Deepdale
.
, a game that ended 1–1. Bogie did however endear himself to the Preston fans immediately with his silky ball playing skills. His time at Deepdale was though a frustrating one for Bogie, Preston and the fans, with the club beginning to struggle and Bogie himself frustrating the fans with some indifferent performances despite his obvious ability. After two and a half years at Preston in which he played 91 games scoring 12 goals, Bogie exercised his right to speak to other clubs at the end of his contract and in August 1991 signed for Millwall
for a tribunal set fee of £145,000.
Bogie played 57 games scoring just 1 goal before being sold to Leyton Orient
for £75,000 in October 1993.
His time at Orient was difficult however for although Bogie was by now regularly putting in some excellent performances and he rarely missed a game. He was voted by his fellow professionals in the team of the year at the annual PFA awards and was voted Orient player of the year as well as scoring goal of the season. After 78 games and 5 goals, Bogie was sold to Port Vale
in March 1995 for £50,000 after Orient encountered financial problems.
Bogie now began putting in the sort of consistent match winning displays that had until this time evaded him. A favourite with the Vale fans he was a member of the giant-killing Vale team that knocked Everton
out of the FA Cup
in 1996 and reached the final of the Anglo-Italian Cup
at Wembley, eventually losing out to Genoa
. His cult status was elevated further by his penchant for scoring winning goals against local rivals
Stoke City
. In a 1–0 victory at Vale Park in 1996, Bogie silenced the Stoke City following with a winning goal just 12 seconds after the kick-off. This would be the quickest goal ever scored by a Port Vale player. He played in the 1996 Anglo-Italian Cup Final
, as Vale lost 5–2 to Genoa
. In five years at Vale Park Bogie played 180 games in all competitions scoring 12 goals, before being handed a free transfer in April 2000 and signing for Kidderminster Harriers
in August of that year.

. He stayed with Bedlington until hanging up his boots at the end of the 2003–04 season when he then took over as manager of Northern Football Alliance
Premier League club Walker Central. Bogie stayed there until the summer of 2006 when he left to take on the role of assistant manager of Northern Premier League

on 10 March a 12 match unbeaten run, which ended the season, put Bogie and his players in a final position of 9th in the Northern Premier League Premier Division
.
In his first season, Bogie guided the Gateshead team to 3rd in the NPL during the 2007–2008 season which meant the team qualified for the play-offs. On 3 May 2008, Gateshead beat Buxton
2–0 and therefore were promoted to the Conference North
.
In the 2008–09 season he guided them to a 2nd place finish in the Conference North beating favourites A.F.C. Telford United
1–0 in the play off final, picking up the January manager of the month award along the way with his side playing some outstanding football during the campaign.

side Huddersfield Town
