Adam Strachan

About

A star midfielder for the Scottish football leagues. He had one season playing for the Scottish Premiere League, but it ended contentiously but with mutual consent in 2007. Throughout the rest of his career, he played as a journeyman traveling between the different lower leagues of the Scottish football clubs. However, his career and personal life were never able to flourish due to his personality, mental health issues, and legal issues throughout his life such as in 2009 when he was charged with assaulting his girlfriend and was arrested in 2013 with over £2K of heroin for which he served time in prison. He was forced to retire after a career-ending injury to one of his ankles in 2018, just four years before his death.
