Picking a fight with Yogi Hughes is never a good idea - especially when he’s got Anthony Stokes on his side. That was a lesson I learned the hard way at Falkirk when the teenage Stokesy arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed from Arsenal.
I signed for the Bairns in the same week and expected to be Yogi’s main man. I knew him, had played with him and he’d worked hard to sign me. Stokes was a teenager and I had over 100 SPL games under my belt for Hibs - why should I be concerned about this upstart? Well I should have been worried!
Stokes was in from the start while I got a close up view of his talents .. from the bench. I was raging with Yogi. Why was he playing a loanee in front of me?
