Here we have the riveting tale of Finlay Robertson, born 12 November 2002. This Scottish lad, with a whopping age of 22, spins his magic primarily as a central midfielder for Dundee. That's right folks, he's a ball wizard on the grass, consistently baffling us with how he manages to control such a round object despite standing only 1.71 metres (about 5ft 7in) tall and weighing a solid 70 kilograms (11 stone). Mind, he does have the number 19 sewn on his shirt so that must inspire some kind of superiority in him.
Now if you're one for numbing extensive financial drivel, this bit's for you. According to this cheery bunch at Transfermarkt, Robertson's current market value, hold your breath, is around €200k. A quick scribble with a quill and ink, and we've translated that to roughly £165k. A colossal amount, no doubt. Robertson has magnanimously allowed Dundee to secure his necessary services till the 31st of May, 2025. I'm sure the ball washing duty is just around the corner.
Robertson kicked off his illustrious career with Dundee in 2017 and embarked on a journey of single-match appearences which seemed to increase on an annual basis. It's true, in season 2018 - 2019, Robertson graced Dundee's team with his unmissable presence in one league match. This spectacular display of longevity continued onto the 2021 - 2022 season with two appearences, then eight in the 2022 - 2023 season, a whopping 13 in the 2023 - 2024 footballing year and a jaw-dropping 16 matches in the current 2024 - 2025 season.
But wait, there's more. Being an altruist, Robertson empathised with the lower leagues and took a loan spell at Cove Rangers in 2021. A tragic tale, really. Can you imagine the countless sleepless nights that must have ensued for the loyal Dundee fans? Thankfully, their knitted Dundee scarves were put to ease when their knight in shining armor returned in January 2022.
Snuck in between these memorable league performances, our hero also participated in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Dundee. With four starts and one appearance as a substitute, it seems like he might be quite adept at warming benches too.
