| Position |
Pretty damn good all over the pitch, though it has to be said that height isn't exactly on his side - so probably not central defence, then. Good keeper, too - guess it must be quite easy to stop the ball when it looks that big. |
| Distinguishing Features |
Skill, speed, smallness - and tendency to storm off if he loses! Sports Action Man's shin guards at our 11s games, too. |
| Lookalike | Ryan Phillippe out of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', R2D2 out of 'Star Wars', the Feral Kid out of 'Mad Max 2', Stuart Adamson out of Big Country, a wee Sam Paulo or a fat Chinese person |
| Battlecry | His trademark anguished howl as a pass fails to find its intended target or a shot fizzes wide |
| Claim To Fame |
Sat between Gazza and Gary Lineker in the players' lounge after a (Spurs) friendly with Hearts in 1990. They didn’t have much to say to one another, apparently. Also deserves plaudits for genuinely getting sent off - by a ref, for two bookable offences - during a game at Sighthill. First time in the history of world 5s? |
