Place Of Birth	Edinburgh
Big Team	Hearts
Wee Team	Man Utd
Favourite Player Ever	Johan Cruyff
Position	Most effective in central defence, but can also operate further up the park - has a decent engine for midfield, and it's rather difficult not to pick him out with a cross when he's up front
Distinguishing Features	Giraffe like frame, bleeding knees, slide tackles launched from a distance of twenty feet, missing tooth
Lookalike	Clint Eastwood, Paul Weller, Hugh Jackman, Mat Riley out of 'Bake Off' 2015 or cricketing japester Phil Tufnell
Battlecry	Not got one - just the gentle hiss of astroturf grinding down knee flesh
Claim To Fame	Runner up to Zyco in the 2005 Perimeter Fence Vaulting competition. First grandfather to play for the Real.
