1961 FROZEN IN TIME
Should he see some minutes in the upcoming Nations League ties against Ukraine and Scotland, Jack Hendry will become the latest player to be capped by Scotland while plying his trade in Italy.
Now playing in Serie A for Cremonese, the defender would be following in the footsteps of Joe Jordan and Graeme Souness.
But the first to wear dark blue while employed by an Italian club was Denis Law, following his £110,000 move from Manchester City to Torino.
He earned the twelfth of his
55 caps in a World Cup qualifier against Czechoslovakia on September 26 1961 and, freed from the shackles of catenaccio, The Lawman did not disappoint.
After Ian St John had scored a firsthalf equaliser, the Scots fell behind again, only for Law to rescue the points with a second-half double.
The Czechs went on to beat the Republic of Ireland twice, meaning there was a play-off in Brussels to decide who would play at the Finals in Chile.
Despite a St John double, Scotland lost 4-2 after extra-time.
