Alex Greive insists he owes his shot at becoming a national hero to St Mirren for taking a punt on an unknown striker from Auckland.
The Buddies forward is currently training with his national team in Spain gearing up for the biggest game of his life, with New Zealand battling Costa Rica on Tuesday, June 12 in Qatar for one of the last two remaining spots at the 2022 World Cup.
Having joined the Saints in January, Greive was quickly called up for national duty and has gone on to earn four caps for his country – scoring twice in the process.
