I pride myself on being a sad Sky Blue statto but whilst flicking through an old programme I was stunned to see the name of somebody I have absolutely no recollection of playing for us assigned with 'number 9' just after Dion left.

Anyone know who it was (without cheating)?

Whooooooooo?!

He was a Scotland international renowned for his work-rate and pace (although not particularly goals). I seem to recall he had cancer which ended his career prematurely?

That's right, but I thought he came to us after he had cancer? I remember he played for Hibs, scored a load of goals and got a big money move to Celtic. Anybody remember Andy Goram playing for us?! Celtic fans had the best chant ever for him!

He's started playing cricket again this season, might even get back in the Scotland team!
