Growing up in Liverpool one of the main sources of entertainment for children is kicking a ball around. It’s a football mad city. Whether you’re a red or a blue, football dominates.

His big break came when Paul Sturrock saw enough in him to be classed as one of those special “wee nuggets” and his professional career began at Home Park.

Brighton, Cardiff and the Premier League followed for the talented winger, before a move to the opposite side of the world and Australia was the closing curtain on a remarkable career.
