I worked with Carl Thywissen at Shell in their Glasgow finance office. I remember the night they played us, he had to leave work in Gordon St and walk to charring Cross where the team bus was picking him up. After the match he told me that Kris Boyd was impossible to mark. He said he just hung about near you next minute you turned around and he was gone.
Karl is Norwegian and while I worked with him Scotland played Norway. I think he was the only Norwegian footballer in Scotland and I remember him being bombarded my newspapers looking for interviewes about the match.( he also told me about an interesting photo shoot the Sunday sport did with East Stirlingshire because they were the worst team in the UK).
Karl is now in Sweden where he works for Phillips. I'm still in touch with him.
