Portsoy born Eoin Jess with two spells at Pittodrie, 18 starts and 2 goals for Scotland, has spent a large spell of his career in England with Coventry, Nottingham Forest and Northampton Town.

 

Shearer has confirmed tonight his old frontline pal is settled back at the City Ground as a Youth Team Coach, scotching rumours of a possible dream return to the North East and Highland League football

 

Sorry bit of a wierd post that one, but got called in to a meeting as I was posting it. Anyway point I was going to make was that personally glad that Jess isnae interested in this. Think it is particularily sad to see footballers that you idolised resorting to extending their playing days to the extent that they end up playing at a level such as this..... and no thats nae a dig at Buckie Thistle

Jess hung up his boots two years ago, didn't he? He belongs in the North-East, and it's only a matter of time before he returns tae "Grumpian".
