 Arrived at Firhill on loan from Chelsea, he immediately showed he had potential. However, ho was played wide rather than as an out and-out forward where he had played at Chelsea. Still managed to score 12 goals in his time, he managed to split the support into "for" and "against" camps for Dodd. Returned to Chelsea where he was top scorer in the reserves, playing through the middle. Went on to play for various clubs in Scotland. |
