 Ever been the victim, or perpetrator, of a dressing room practical joke?  At Ross County, Ian Maxwell got SFA headed paper and wrote a letter saying Geordie Shaw had been nominated for Player of the Year, (he hadn’t!)  Geordie believed it for days and whenever he scored in training he would be saying to the boys that was why he had been nominated. When he found out it was a hoax he was the angriest man, it was brilliant.
