Fotheringham, Mark
[Player Pics]
Dundee-born Mark Fotheringham was a midfielder who made three senior appearances after coming through the Parkhead youth ranks.
Once hailed as a potential world class talent Fotheringham was the youngest-ever player to make the Celtic first team when he made his competitive debut at the age of 16 back in May 2000 during a 0-0 league draw with St Johnstone.
However Fotheringham simply failed to fulfil those early expectations and the vast majority of his Parkhead career was spent with the Under-21s where he was a capable but not outstanding performer. He did however catch the eye on one occasion when he performed a sublime piece of skill which saw him flick the ball over his head and that of his bewildered marker.
Such tricks were not enough to win him first team football at Parkhead and after a total of just three appearance for the first team he left the Hoops to join Dundee in August 2003.
He went on to play for German side SC Freiburg and Swiss club FC Aarau before having an unsuccesful trial with Rangers in January 2007. He joined Norwich City later that month and after some good performances has recently been appointed captain of the Carrow Road club.
