Holt came late to professional football, having had a spell in the Army Catering Corps as a chef and played for the British Army team prior to joining Celtic. He did not play for the Bhoys first team and moved on to Stoke City. After a brief stay, Holt returned to his boyhood favourites, Kilmarnock, where he excelled in the Ayrshire team's most consistent period of success since the 1960s. He set up home in his place of birth with his wife in the Bourtreehill part of Irvine. Despite his excellent form with Kilmarnock, international recognition proved elusive, and Holt briefly explored the option of playing for Canada in 1998. However, it eventually emerged Holt wasn't eligible for Canada, and Holt gained his first Scotland cap a year later.

C'? un gruppo rock che mi suona dentro mi ha riacceso il cuore che tenevo spento fa un casino che non riesco neanche pi? a dormire come fare per poter spiegare per poterti dire E' un'energia si diffonde come onde radio forte come un grido allo stadio arriva all'improvviso che tu voglia o no. da dove viene non so ma si infila dritta nelle vene, e davvero mi fa stare bene… RIT. Tu mi fai vivere sento tu mi fai vivere denso tu mi fai vivere e penso che la vita e niente senza te tu mi fai vivere dentro tu mi fai vivere al centro tu mi fai vivere e penso che spettacolo la vita con te Ho riaperto le finestre del mio cuore… sopra al davanzale ora ci ho messo un fiore, c'? un profumo d'aria fresca e di speranze nuove e la mattina sopra al mio cuscino sai ci nasce il sole Lascia che sia… ogni giorno un giorno un po' speciale. ogni attimo da ricordare RIT. Tu mi fai vivere sento tu mi fai vivere denso tu mi fai vivere e penso che la vita e niente senza te tu mi fai vivere dentro tu mi fai vivere al centro tu mi fai vivere e penso che spettacolo la vita con te Sei il lampione che mi indica la strada e al buio mi illumina sei l'arcobaleno che riporter? il sereno nell'anima l'aquilone che mi tira in aria per volare oltre la ragione sei terra e cielo intorno a me...il motivo per esistere RIT. Tu mi fai vivere sento tu mi fai vivere denso tu mi fai vivere e penso che la vita e niente senza te tu mi fai vivere dentro tu mi fai vivere al centro
