A defender on the field, Winnie was part of St Mirren's 1987 Scottish Cup Final-winning team. He also played for Aberdeen, Dundee and Hearts, and was a Scotland U21 international. After leaving Scotland in 1999, he played for Canberra Cosmos in Australia.[5]

Winnie was then assistant manager at Icelandic side KR before a brief caretaker role saw him steer them from relegation danger. Winnie was then part of the youth academy coaching staff at Livingston and Rangers.

Winnie was manager of Dumbarton from June 2002 until his sacking in March 2003, when the Sons were struggling in the Second Division. He was replaced by Bo'ness United manager Brian Fairley.[6]

Winnie trained to become a solicitor at a law firm in St. Albans and qualified in November 2009. He became head of the Sports Law Department at Charles Douglas Solicitors LLP, a law firm based in Mayfair, London.[7]
