I personally know a person who lives on Islay who had a two week trial when he was 16 years old at Dens Park.
It was reported back to Bob Shankly that this person had been drinking in a public house in Broughty Ferry.
His two week trial period was immediately terminated and he was sent back home to Islay in disgrace.
A 'spy' in every public house in Dundee and Broughty Ferry? You've talked some absolute p1sh in your time on here but this really does trump the lot.

The cost of the dark glasses and false moustaches alone would surely bankrupt the club?
