Paul Armstrong. What a terrific signing for Sandy. Mr dependable. A good solid full back whos only let down is his final ball into the box. If he could improve this aspect of his game, he would be one of our star men this season. - Humo
Paul Armstrong if he is a first team regular then he could be the best right back in the 2nd div an attacking full back unlike Jimmy Boyle. Daniel
