One of mates is friends of the family and shared this on facebook earlier.

Encouraging read.

hard to say, the implication is he hasn't been applying himself up to now. Sounds a bit like another ex-Airdrie striker. Let's hope he's on the right track now.

I expect every 16 year old goes through that spell. Difference is Tony Watt still displaying that at 21/22.

Forgot about this young lad but promising indeed.

Don't know about that, i remember a 16/17 year old Steven Naismith at Killie being a model pro. Wouldn't even drink a fizzy soft drink at sponsors lunches.

He was so focused on making it as a footballer it was unreal. I don't think his attitude to his career has changed much since.

I'm sure there's a few others. Stuart Armstrong is/was doing a Law Degree for life after football being another example.

He could've done it full time this season...

My mother says that he had a ball at his feet all the time including when he was doing his paper round.

Apparently another local lad is in the Kilmarnock youth team and he also delivers the papers. 

I had to point out to get that delivering her Kilmarnock Standard doesn't necessarily mean you'll play for Scotland.

Not much of a story, did he expect to Henry to say something nasty after the game? He was probably being polite.

Probably, but he could have said nothing. The story here for me is that the Manager has said he doesn't like singling out individual players...........but Jordan Allan then gets singled out.
