My Take
Fallon embodies the journeyman striker I have a soft spot for. A towering forward from Gisborne, New Zealand, he criss-crossed the English and Scottish leagues, turning out for more than a dozen clubs from Barnsley and Plymouth to Aberdeen and St Johnstone. That is not a story of a single glamorous peak but of relentless adaptability, of a man who kept finding pitches to fight on. Add 24 New Zealand caps and six international goals, and you have a player who carried his country onto the world stage. Now coaching, he strikes me as exactly the kind of seasoned voice young forwards should listen to.
