I was fully booked to go to Florida 3 years ago (flights and hotel) for our friendly against the USA. I was rushed into hospital about a week before I was due to fly for a double heart bypass.
My mate contacted SFA who fully understood the situation. But to be honest, at that time 'harvesting' a ticket was the least o' ma phuqqen worries.
Now back on 10pts and heading to Tbilisi tonite.
As for the operation, the double heart bypass ended up as a triple bypass. Apparently the hospital I was in had a special offer that month,.... Buy two, get one free
