“He doesn’t like talking about his story,” John McGinn told the Scottish FA. <\/p>\n
“He’ll no like hearing it – but that’ll never happen again. Part-time football to go so quickly to Hull, Liverpool, Champions League winner, Premier League winner, captaining your country at a World Cup. That’s fairytale stuff.<\/p>\n
“It’s a documentary I can’t wait to sit back and watch, the Andy Robertson documentary.”<\/p>\n
His manager at Hull, Steve Bruce, cited Robertson’s ability to grow and meet bigger challenges as they came along. Strachan said his intelligence meant he learned extremely quickly.<\/p>\n
Robertson mainly ascribes his ascent to “luck” in having coaches and managers who were willing to give him a chance, as well as his work ethic.<\/p>\n
“What I could control is I went into football with: ‘I will give this 100% and, if I don’t make it, at least I can look back and go, you know what, I gave that absolutely everything and wasn’t for me.”<\/p>\n
Robertson is on his way to surpassing the great Dalglish’s record of 102 caps for Scotland and already has the most appearances as captain.<\/p>\n
The McTominay mural marking the midfielder’s overhead kick in the defining game against Denmark adorns a tenement next to Hampden, only a few miles from where Robertson grew up. It may need some company.<\/p>\n
Robertson is the boy who went from posting about being broke to ruffling Lionel Messi’s hair on his way to winning the Champions League.<\/p>\n
From answering the Hampden phones to ending Scotland’s World Cup hurt in the same place, 14 years on.<\/p>\n
He might not like to hear it, but it is a story that should inspire young Scots for generations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
