United Fan wins Goal of the Month
A Dundee United supporter has been crowned the winner of the Ladbrokes SPFL goal of the month for November. Tommy McKay, 32, won the poll hosted on the SPFL Facebook page - which included a high calibre of strikes from the likes of Jayden Stockley, Tom Rogic and Joe Dodoo - with 80% of the votes cast. The result is all the more remarkable considering Tommy had his right leg removed as a child following a cancer diagnosis and performed his audacious lob while on crutches. His goal came in the M...
