Says a lot for our youth system🤪
Was his birth cert nicked from his car too?
I Love him
I don't recall seeing comments about exactly how Paterson was injured when playing for Scotland, so here goes.......
He was selected as the main Scottish striker (in the grand tradition of Kenny Dalglish, Dennis Law and Joe Jordan) and typically was trying his darndest to impress and score. There was a floated cross that was behind him, but he corkscrewed his body to head the ball in a creditable attempt to score (which the keeper saved with difficulty). In this contorted state, he landed awkwardly and sustained a nasty injury. This was typical of the all-action player who has endeared himself to fans and whose gutsy performances have been sadly missed recently.
He's 25 in a few months! But then I guess that's young by the current squad's standards.
Rhys Healey is 25 later this year but still seen as a “youngster” trying to make the grade.
