Not long ago, Central Scotland was home to a generational footballing talent. Scouts from across Europe descended on the coastal city of Dundee to watch teenage sensation Ryan Gauld as he slalomed past Premiership defenders and picked apart backlines with his inch-perfect passes.
Standing 5-5 (he has since grown to 5-7) with an innate quickness and a deft left foot, Gauld quickly drew comparisons to Lionel Messi — gaining him nicknames such as: "Baby Messi," "Mini Messi" and "Aberdeen Messi" (the last one a tribute to the youngster's hometown).
In the lower reaches of the English Football League, teams are largely comprised of journeymen. Squad turnover at this level is high, and with shorter contracts and higher financial volatility, players often play on different teams from season to season.
But few footballing nomads have ever reached the migratory magnitude that goalkeeper Josef Bursik has achieved this season.

Este lunes, futbolistas de la Selección Peruana de Fútbol publicaron videos en redes sociales pidiendo a la comunidad de su país no votar por el comunismo en la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales a celebrar este año. Los clips son parte de una campaña llamada "Ponte la Camiseta" y en ella los jugadores muestran su rechazo por el candidato de izquierda, Pedro Castillo, a la vez que apoyan implícitamente a la candidata de derecha, Keiko Fujimori, hija de Alberto Fujimori, el ex dictador peruano hoy preso por crímenes de lesa humanidad.
As Christian Pulisic takes over Europe with his dashing smile and unstoppable skills on the pitch, you will be surprised to hear that nobody has locked down this young American star. Similar to the way Pulisic has his way with defenders, the young American star should have his options for potential love. He has proved to look sleek with a scruffy beard for the winter to cuddle up with and looks just as nice with it shaved off — how is this soccer star single?
