A wee guy who clearly loved playing for Scotland and was on top of the world when he scored. His obvious deep pride and enthusiasm in wearing our jersey was brilliant to see. Ryan Fraser take note.

Always gave his all. There were Scotland fans who didn't rate him. For the life of me, I cannot understand why not. I loved watching him play. I just watched the goal again and cast my mind back to that night in Dortmund and what else springs to mind? The Referendum. It was just around the corner and Flower of Scotland that night was on an entirely different level. The intensity was something else. I bawled my eyes out throughout.

Agree about Anya playing, always thought he brought something to the team and he played a few positions, gave us much needed pace at times too.

Good bit of trivia as he's certainly not the first name that comes to mind when you hear the question!

Rolling hIlls Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 These guys were Scotland Forever. Yon wee prick who chose Ireland was a disgusting little git.

Rolling hIlls Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Just before I get banned Tyder, I have bought you flowers.🌙. When I say flowers I mean bananas. My brother in law works in Fyffes. The factory where they make bananas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
