As a very proud Scotsman, it was great to see my lad Luke wearing the Three Lions!
He played 80 minutes for England under-16s against Wales and, as a parent, I was proud as punch. He’s worked his socks off and deserved it.
Mind you, I’ve played in excess of 600 games and never felt as nervous in my life as I did watching!
Only four years ago, he was playing for Menston Hotshots and it’s a feather in the cap for Bradford City having gone through the system there.
We know it’s just a start and anything can happen. There’s a long way to go for Luke yet and there will be no big-time Charlies in this house.
But I keep telling him it’s good training for playing for Scotland!
