welshbairn Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Just going to post this exchange, you get the point. Couldn't think where to put the thread, but there must be lots of stories of Scottish players doing well in other countries that don't hit the papers, maybe in small countries or lower leagues. I'm not talking about the likes of Liam Henderson, just footballers plying their trade and ending up settling, or just being local heroes for a bit. Famous players allowed too of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
