As the song says, "There's only one Noel Bailie" - a footballing icon whose achievements will never be equalled! The complete ambassador for football everywhere! Well done Noel, a momentous achievement! :cool: :highfive:
I gave Bailie a shout out in the Guardian last month actually. I reckon he's the most decorated footballer in the world never to have won a cap.
