Watching determined young Scot tear down snooker’s old guard was wonderful — even on a black-and-white telly.

Welcome to a new episode of the My Sporting Hero podcast, part of Nutmeg FC. The home of brilliant football stories — made in Scotland.

So far this month, Nutmeg FC subscribers have enjoyed....

* The exclusive column from our tactics guy Adam Clery — on Scotland’s friendly double header against Iceland and Liechtenstein.

And still to come....

Only paid subscribers to Nutmeg FC get every piece we produce straight to their inbox.

This time on My Sporting Hero, our guest is Maurice Ross.

Dundonian Maurice played as a full-back, most famously for Rangers under Alex McLeish.

He won two league titles, two Scottish Cups and two League Cups (scoring the opener in the 2005 final) with the Ibrox club. After leaving Glasgow in 2005, Maurice embarked on a globetrotting career that took him as far and wide as England, Turkey, Norway (most notably with Viking FK) and China. He was capped 13 times by Scotland.

Maurice went on to coach and manage different clubs in Norway and the Faroe Islands, was boss at Cowdenbeath and his last coaching role was as assistant manager to his old Gers team-mate Charlie Adam at Fleetwood Town. Maurice takes a particular interest in teaching youth footballers not only soccer skills but also life lessons and self-motivation.

Maurice’s sporting hero is Scotland’s snooker superman Stephen Hendry.
