A Glaswegian childhood taught him the harsh realities of life and despite being touted by both Rangers and Celtic as a 12-year-old, he opted to join a much smaller club where his chances of succeeding where much greater.After being a part of the Scottish under 19s team that reached the final of the European Championships in 2006, there was reported interest from FC Barcelona of Spain. An offer of a trial with the Catalan club was not immediately accepted, and with his hesitancy the interest https://www.wowdodgersstore.com/los-angeles-dodgers-jersey/alex-wood-jersey vanished quickly.Despite a bright start to his Livingston career, manager at the time John Robertson felt Snodgra s lacked the right attitude and outcast him by shipping him out on loan to Second Division side Stirling Albion. Snodgra s declared that bereavements in his personal life had affected his mindset, but without a support system in place in Scotland, he struggled to cope with these difficulties.On his return to Livingston, Snodgra s had a succe sful 2007-08 season and interest south of the border increased. It was fellow Scot, Gary McAllister that signed him for Leeds United in the summer of 2008.His first season in England began well, but soon he found himself on the outskirts of the team, struggling to hold down a first-team place. However, a string of outstanding performances during a torrid run of games for the club, he established himself as a first choice selection. A matter of days later manager Gary McAllister was sacked, with Simon Grayson his replacement.Grayson identified Snodgra s talent early on and he has become an almost ever-present in his side since. He finished the 2008-09 season superbly, contributing 11 goals and 16 a sists.It didnt take long for the Elland Road faithful to take Snodgra s to heart, and he soon became a firm fans favourite. He displays a https://www.wowdodgersstore.com/los-angeles-dodgers-jersey/joc-pederson-jersey tremendous work ethic, a vital expectancy of pa sionate home fans; along side an all-round ability complemented by his ability to play in a number of positions. Predominantly utilised as a winger, Snodgra s can also operate in an attacking central midfield role or as a striker. He po se ses an excellent left-foot with great close control and trickery; he also dribbles and cro ses effectively, supplying frequent a sists for his team-mates. He has the ability to score goals too, is a capable set-piece taker and a very determined team player.A splendid performance against Liverpool in last seasons Carling Cup, terrorising full-back Andrea Do sena, coupled with his man-of-the-match display at White Hart Lane against Tottenham in the FA Cup, when playing behind lone striker Jermaine Beckford have helped to highlight his capabilities and displayed his versatility.Causing problems against Liverpool in the Carling CupFollowing another succe sful season where he was instrumental in Leeds promotion to the Championship, Snodgra s will now https://www.wowdodgersstore.com/los-angeles-dodgers-jersey/will-smith-jersey have the opportunity to perform on a bigger stage in a highly competitive league. His raw talent will continue to flourish as he makes the step up, with Leeds looking for him to help them at least consolidate on their return to the Championship.Snodgra s progre sion since joining Leeds hasnt gone un-noticed within international quarters, with previous Scotland bo s George Burley calling him up for a friendly against Japan in October 2009; unfortunately Snodgra s had to withdraw from the squad due to injury. It is extremely likely that a continuation of his developing talent over the coming season, will in time, lead to a full international cap for his country.In a Leeds side that are willing to have a go this season, a team playing under no pre sing expectations to win every week and ensure promotion, Snodgra s will expose defences not https://www.wowdodgersstore.com/los-angeles-dodgers-jersey/gavin-lux-jersey appropriately prepared for his threat. Grayson holds a Premier League star in the making, and this season can provide a breakthrough year for a player not concerned for hitting the headlines.An injury picked-up during pre-season has thus far prevented Snodgra s from making an appearance in the Championship, but once fit, he is likely to be thrust into Graysons starting line-up. Whether he is selected in a wide role or behind a lone striker on his comeback, Snodgra s is sure to light up the Championship, turning more heads and reaping more plaudits along the way.Snodgra s showing his appreciation to the Leeds fans
