Man of (Norn) Iron
And it's a big well done to Jonny Tuffey, who's received his first senior international call-up this week.
Tuffey's come a long way in a short space of time. I remember travelling to Lancaster to see his debut for the Jags against Lancaster City - a phenomenal pre-season away day where the Jags took over the social club at the Giant Axe, then went on to take the town.
Arriving from Coventry, he didn't look all that special, but since then has grown in confidence and stature to become, undoubtedly, one of the best goalkeepers in the division, taking on the captaincy of NI's u21 team and proving an incredible penalty stopper.
I never thought Thistle would be able to find an adequate replacement for The Legend Kenny Arthur, but Jonny has not only filled those gloves, he's become as key a part of the team as anyone in recent history.
So well done Jonny. And with Roy Carroll throwing a hissy fit about not being available for selection unless guaranteed a game, JT might get that international chance sooner rather than later...
