In the Press : Steven Fletcher Moves Masses to Tears

Every so often, you come across that one story that just sends your heart soaring into the stratisphere, a real moment when you absolutely walk on sunshine and everything’s gonna be alright. Or something to this effect.

A recent article in The Daily Record – Steven Fletcher: Moving to England has made a man of me – now I want to prove it with Scotland.

Now this is the stuff dreams are made.

STEVEN FLETCHER felt like the boy who’d just had his Christmas stolen the day Hibs chairman Rod Petrie refused to sell him to Celtic… Less than a year on he looks back on that crushing disappointment as the decision that finally made a man of him.

Yes, Fletcher has been busy growing up. And he owes it all to Petrie’s stubborn refusal to let him go to Parkhead for a cut-price fee.

But Burnley snatched him up for £3million, and just look at him now!

“I got back to concentrating on my game and scoring goals and maybe it worked out better for me… Burnley must have seen enough to want to take me to the Premiership and you can’t play at a much higher level than that.”

“Since then we’ve been to places like Anfield, Stamford Bridge and White Hart Lane and even though the results haven’t been great the experience has and it’s all helping us adjust to life in the top flight.”

“We’re making progress bit by bit. People were putting pressure on us about our away record but now we’ve gone to a big club like Man City, drawn 3-3 and probably should have won.”

Maybe we should abandon this Celtic sinking ship and become Burnley supporters; they’re made of winners. And they’re in the Premier League.
