Joe Dodoo

Joseph "Joe" Dodoo (born 29 June 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a Winger for Premier League side Leicester City.

Early life

Dodoo was born in Kumasi, Ghana but his grandmother brought him to Nottingham in England in search of a better life when he was only eight years old.

Club career

Dodoo was playing park football in Nottingham for Vernon Colts at age 11 when renowned talent spotter Mick Elliott MBE, then Academy Scout at Leicester City, saw him playing. On 9 December 2006 he brought him to Leicester for a trial. With his strong physique and pace, he made an immediate impact and was quickly signed by Leicester City Academy.

He made his first team debut on 25 August 2015, in the second round of the League Cup away to Bury at Gigg Lane. He played the full 90 minutes and scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 victory, also assisting the goal by Andrej Kramarić. Bury subsequently stated that they were interested in signing him on loan. Four days later, Dodoo made his first Premier League appearance, as a 72nd-minute substitute for Marc Albrighton in a 1–1 draw with Bournemouth at Dean Court. In the next round of the League Cup on 22 September, his first game at the King Power Stadium, Dodoo scored the opening goal after six minutes in a 2–1 extra-time win over West Ham United. After the match, manager Claudio Ranieri said "He was fantastic...I'm very happy with him and excited because he's a very attentive lad and often I speak with him about his best position, how to attack and how to defend. I'm very happy with him."

Scottish Premiership

The Scottish Premiership, known for sponsorship reasons as the Ladbrokes Premiership, is the top division of the Scottish Professional Football League, the league competition for men's professional football clubs in Scotland. The Scottish Premiership was established in July 2013, after the Scottish Professional Football League was formed by a merger of the Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football League.

Competition format

Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned league champion. If points are equal, the goal difference determines the winner. If this still does not result in a winner, the tied teams must take part in a playoff game at a neutral venue to determine the final placings.

Split

The top flight of Scottish football has contained 12 clubs since the 2000–01 season, the longest period without change in the history of the Scottish football league system. During this period the SPL and now the SPFL have operated a "split" format. This is done to prevent the need for a 44-game schedule, based on playing each other four times. That format was used in the Scottish Premier Division, but is now considered to be too high a number of games in a league season.

Partick Thistle F.C.

Partick Thistle Football Club (nicknamed the Jags) are a professional football club from Glasgow, Scotland. Despite their name, the club are based at Firhill Stadium in the Maryhill area of the city, and have not played in Partick since 1908. The club have been members of the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) since its formation in 2013 and currently compete in the Scottish Premiership, the highest tier of the SPFL structure, following promotion from the 2012–13 Scottish First Division. They are one of two Glasgow-based teams competing in the Premiership, the other being Celtic, with Rangers competing in the Scottish Championship and Queen's Park in the Scottish League Two.

Since 1936, Thistle have played in their distinctive red-and-yellow jerseys of varying designs, with hoops, stripes and predominantly yellow tops with red trims having been used, although in 2009 a centenary kit was launched in the original navy-blue style to commemorate 100 years at Firhill. Since 1908 the club have won the Scottish Second Division once and the Scottish First Division six times, most recently in 2013. Thistle have also won both the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup in 1921 and 1971 respectively.
