This time on My Sporting Hero, our guest is Mixu Paatelainen.
Hailing from an auspicious Finnish sporting family, Mixu became a beloved, no-nonsense striker in his home from home Scotland, most notably at Dundee United, Aberdeen and Hibernian. He won Scottish Cup runners-up medals with all three clubs and helped Hibs win the First Division in 1999. His spell at Bolton Wanderers led to his cult hero status being sealed with a mention in Peter Kay’s classic comedy Phoenix Nights.
Mixu’s managerial career has taken him far and wide, and his charges have included Cowdenbeath, Hibs, Kilmarnock, Dundee United and the Finnish national team.
Mixu’s sporting hero is his father and fellow former Finland hero Matti.
