This isn't a "could he do a job" type thread but just thought it would be interesting to post something away from the "when are we signing someone"/rumour/we need a.... type threads.
Here is a player whose name has been around for what seems like forever and as far as I know he has just played for one team. Now aged 35 is looking for another club. It is strange coz as a follower of Scottish football in general and someone who must have been to tons of Killie v Hibs games he has featured in not to mention Killie on telly v other teams, he is never someone I have noticed one way or the other. Till I saw his picture in the article I would not have know what he looked like. Never, ever have I heard of him being linked with moves elsewhere whilst at Killie.
This to me suggests he must be fairly average in SPL terms given he has played for an average SPL team all that time but all those years playing first team football in the SPL for one team deserves respect. Neither he nor his club have been relegated and only, form what I can recall, been in a couple of serious relegation battles during that time. Must have played in top 6 a few seasons and maybe even Europe too.
We don't and won't see many cases like this again. Could Lewis Stevenson be the next one in 10 years time?
