Yeah, so no, it was, yeah.

So basically I had an unbelievable start to life in England.

I think at that season I had eight goals.

Yeah.

And I had eight goals before Christmas from midfield in the championship.

This was all kind of building before.

Again, I still at this point had never started for the national team.

I was kind of in the squad, coming off the bench here and there.

Yeah.

And it was my first season in England after coming down from Scotland.

And yeah, I remember, I'll tell the story, but my agent one day like called me and was like, listen, this is kind of, this is happening.

And I was basically straight away, I was like, listen, no, I've got big dreams of the Premier League.
