Distinguishing Features

Not a lot, bar his resemblance to ex Ajax and Rangers striker Shota Arveladze and a Lennox-like reluctance to track back when the opposition have the ball (unless knackered).

Fond of a woolly bunnet, too (particularly ones belonging to Edinburgh Rugby players).

Pressing 7 pm appointments on Tuesdays where the result hasn't gone his way.

Lookalike Take your pick - Shota Arveladze, Mr Bean, Aleksandr the meerkat off the telly, Grant out of 'Mythbusters', Rudi Skácel, Adam Garcia off 'Got To Dance', David Mitchell out of 'Peep Show' (only thinner), Red Mist out of 'Kickass', Ed Miliband or (apparently) a Merchiston mate called Magnus Frame
Battlecry

"That ball's rubbish", plus a fine repertoire of whinges for any situation where he has been fouled, didn't receive the pass he wanted or dislikes the side he has been put in.

Also now cultivating a trademark, laconic 'Wow' when things go particularly pear shaped for his team.

Claim To Fame He's a professional gambler - and his surname is actually Gola
