Well-travelled Binks eager to make mark for Scotland
From searching for pizza with Thierry Henry to leading a Danish Superliga side, Luis Binks has taken an unconventional route to the Scotland squad, writes Tom English.
Luis Binks, a 25-year-old centre-half and captain of Brondby, is eager to make an impact for Scotland in their upcoming match against Slovenia. The Brondby defender, who boasts a colorful background spanning Tottenham, Montreal Impact, Bologna, Como, Coventry, and Brondby, is one of eight uncapped players in the new manager's squad.
Binks, whose grandfather hails from Dunbar, had a unique journey from club-less to his Scotland call-up in just three years. He recounts his time at Montreal Impact during lockdown, where he forged a strong bond with Thierry Henry, who was also staying at the Ritz-Carlton. Binks credits Henry for giving him his first taste of senior football.
With Scotland's call-up, Binks aims to leave his mark on the team and prove himself in the heart of Sebastien Pocognoli's defence.
