There is a great picture of David Wotherspoon. It surfaces from time-to-time.
Face painted, proudly kitted out in St Johnstone’s 1996/97 home kit (the one with Famous Grouse splashed across the front) and sitting back in a huge wooden chair, here was a smiling kid from Perthshire whose dreams mirrored hundreds if not thousands of others his age.
Whether kicking a ball around Aberargie, at Abernethy Primary School, Abernethy Cubs or through the streets of Bridge of Earn, the end goal was to play for St Johnstone. It’s a pipe dream for most.
