Career Quote by Scott McTominay

“I spoke to my dad and my girlfriend about not enjoying football, or not enjoying it as much as I should do. I am in a pretty privileged position and it was about reflecting on that, realising where I am and not taking it for granted. My career could be over in a heartbeat.” quote by Scott McTominay
