Scottish Striker Makes History in Serie A
In a touching tribute to the late Scottish football legend Denis Law, Che Adams made history by becoming the first Scot to score a double in Serie A in 64 years. Adams’ achievement mirrors Law’s remarkable feat during his time with Torino in Italy, a week after the icon’s passing.
Denis Law: A Football Icon
Denis Law, Scotland’s only Ballon d’Or winner and joint all-time top international scorer, left an indelible mark on the world of football. With 30 goals to his name for his country, Law’s legacy is unparalleled. His tenure with Torino saw him score ten goals, including two memorable doubles, before returning to Manchester United, where he became an icon of English football.
A Historic Milestone for Che Adams
In a thrilling match against Cagliari, Che Adams etched his name in history by scoring a brace, matching Law’s record of a double in Serie A. Adams, with seven goals this season, showcased his talent and determination, making him a standout player for Torino.
Scots in Serie A: A Legacy Continues
While several Scottish footballers have made their mark in Serie A over the years, none have managed to replicate Law’s milestone until Adams. Names like Joe Jordan, Graeme Souness, and Scott McTominay have left their mark, but Adams stands out as the first to achieve this historic feat since Law.
Words of Praise from Torino Manager
Reflecting on Che Adams’ remarkable performance, Torino manager Paolo Vanoli commended the striker for his dedication and work ethic. Vanoli’s belief in Adams’ abilities has paid off, with the player’s impressive display on the field earning him recognition and accolades. Adams’ success serves as a testament to his talent and commitment to the sport.
