Dindeleux Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 On a similar note is there either: A - Anyone who has made the move from non-league in Scotland through the division and flourished in all of them before taking the top league by storm (I'm not looking for the usual "he started in junior football/kenny dalglish" answers you usually get). B - Anyone who you watch playing at Juniors who is such a good goal scorer that you would tip him to score goals in any league he plays in?

peasy23 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Dougie Imrie and Darian McKinnon at Hamilton certainly fit the bill of having come through from the Juniors and playing regularly in the top flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKinnon was one I was thinking of and in terms of strikers fitting the bill Imrie is a great shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Broonie was a great servant to Killie,after joining them from the junior ranks. B - As a couple of guys have said,the boy Forsyth at Troon looks the part.

Troon Fc Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 My post about Adam was a bit of a throw away comment but in all honesty he has done brilliant for us since joining from Annbank. He is attracting interest from the seniors so he must be doing something right. He definitely has a fair bit to go but fair to play to him, he works his socks off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went on to play for Dundee as well ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Victoria Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Adam Forsyth is the best striker in junior football He's just a poor Tony Balfour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrellburn Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Jamie Longworth scored around 140 in under 5 seasons with ladeside, I'm sure. A long time ago, and in a differnt era when high scoring was a lot more common, but Alex Querrie scored 260 goals in six seasons at Kilsyth. The difference here and with some of the other claims being made is that his record is fully verifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of guys who made their way through the leagues but Broonie would be a good fit. Signed for us from Glenafton and scored on his debut, and our return to Premier Division, against Dundee. Must've been a bit of a fairytale story.

I know time speeds up as you get older, but I didn't realise it was only five years ago that Alex Querrie was our star striker. I seem to remember being a schoolboy when I saw him, and now my pension comes in every month. What happened to the half century in between?

garrellburn Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Just for comparison, with their various British senior clubs, scoring records are Dixie Deans (Motherwell, Celtic, Luton) 163 Billy Wallace (Stenhousemuir, Raith Rovers, Hearts and Celtic) 226 Colin Stein (Hibs, Rangers, Coventry) 127 All players who did very well at junior clubs and made an almost immediate transition to success at seniors.
