Great read it puts me in mind of a footballing history book claiming it was the scots who invented dribbling, entirely plausible given the renown of ball players historically from north of the border.
Also when LFC were created didn't they turn to Scotland for all their players?
Their nicknames being the "Macs" or something?

The success of the English professional League could arguably be said to have been built largely on the skill of imported Scottish footballers. It does seem strange that the supply has largely dried up in recent decades.

Seriously, the impact of Scots at Everton has been phenomenal with Young and Gabriel coming to Everton and the club enjoying a great trophy winning 1960s, then Sharp and Gray come to the fore in an unprecedented era for Everton success, and now... Who are these Dundee Utd lads Martinez is watching?
