Striker

He's a Trinidadian called Scotland who plays in the English leagues for a Welsh team. Capiche? What couldn't be clearer is how well he knows where the net is

Scotland was a star for Defensive Force FC in his homeland, prompting SPL side Dundee United to sign him in 2003.

His spell at Tannadice was far from memorable, however, and he left having managed just eight goals in 50 appearances. His fortunes changed following a move to St Johnstone where he scored 33 goals at exactly one every two games, earning himself a place in the Scottish Division One Team of the Year for 2006/07.

A tremendous athlete, strong despite his lack of inches and with more than a few tricks up his sleeve, Scotland made the transition to League One football with ease and ended his first season with the Swans having netted 26 goals from 42 appearances.

Still ahs his critics for his quite poor work rate. Once the ball is played to him anyone in or around the box though you can almost guarantee a goal. Sublime finisher, scoring goals with both feet. Goal scoring record speaks for itself (50+ in under 2 seasons) Does need to work on his work rate and his heading though.

He's overrated.

He has the work-rate of a sloth on coke. Whenever you pass the ball to him, he just never expects there to be any defenders going for the ball.

He has no idea how to use his strength. His heading is abysmal.

In front of goal he's a good finisher, and he has his moments where he links up play well. But he needs to stay in the middle, and not get tempted by the open spaces on the left wing!!!

Huge target man, reminds me of Alan Lee but a lot better! The Trinidanian equivalent to Heskey.

Clinical penalty taker.Strong, single-minded and lethal in and around the box.Depends heavily on a passing/possession team, and he has found his niche with Swansea, with plenty of providers.
