Turning away from politics, just for the moment, I found this story interesting.....
A young lad called Jack Harper who lives in Spain but has a Scottish father plays for the Real Madrid youth team. Now young Jack has been called up to a Scottish under-15 training camp in Largs.....
If Harper makes it to the top, (and it is a very big if as many promising young players don't make the grade, for whatever reason), just imagine the game programme on the day ....
Harper (Real Madrid and Scotland)....
Surreal is a much overused word, but it does have a sort of surreal quality.....
Anyway, good luck to Jack.... I hope he enjoys his stay in Largs

Darren Fletcher (Man Utd - midfield fulcrum & Scotland)
ReplyDeleteSlightly less glamorous...
Craig Gordon (Sunderland - best keeper in the Premiership & Scotland)
Barry Ferguson (Birmingham Renaissance & Scotland)
Agree abut Fletcher, i have always rated him, particularly the way he seldom gives away possession.
ReplyDeleteGordon is finally showing his real form at Sunderland. Best keeper we've had since Jim Leighton (or Bill Brown, if you're old enough).
Freguson...? maybes aye, maybes naw... a lot of promise and some good years with the Gers, but not the player he was IMO...
Recently watching MOTD, it's been a real pleasure to see how important and outstanding Gordon has been for Sunderland.
ReplyDeleteIf Fletcher was English we wouldn't be hearing the end of it. Fortunately Wayne is there to take the hopes of a nation with him...
