When did Motherwell earn the right to be snobby about a players pedigree? Take a look at the succesful 'Well teams of the past, or even a list of your own favourite players and see where we signed them from.
Off the top of my head, the vast majority of my favourite players either came through the youth set-up (Faddy, Uncle Phil, Dolan, etc) or made a step up to come to the 'Well (Dougie, Kirk, Philliben, Gahagan).
Here's hoping we unearth another few legends this pre-season.
