Schoolkid Wilson continues to impress in Hearts first team and former Jambos hero Ryan reckons he has a big future.
Fearless. That’s what I like most about watching James Wilson’s emergence at Hearts at the age of just 17.
We would train with the first team most days and I would do crossing and finishing every day for goalkeeper Mark Bosnich. He used to be a psychopath. I was s***ing myself in case I made a mess of it. To the untrained eye, people will just think, ‘oh, that's quite lucky, he's got a tap-in’. But it's not lucky. It's was his sense of anticipating where the ball was going to go that made him be first in position for the tap-in. He looks like he has got that gift.
That’s excellent. I like the way Critchley comes across. I thought it was a gamble when he came in but from listening to him I got a very early impression that I liked his style. He breaks things down and say it as it is. He keeps it simple. From speaking to people inside the club his coaching is very good.
The manager, Brian Reid, was mates with Derek McInnes. It had looked like I would go to St Johnstone but then Jim Jefferies got the Hearts job a couple of days before the window shut. He had previously tried to sign me for Kilmarnock and when I heard Hearts were interested my mind was made up.
