Striker Martin McLauchlan was kind enough to spare a few moments recently to tell the Lok Programme a bit about himself. Martin, 34, is one of the most popular players in the squad with supporters who appreciate that he gives everything he's got whenever he takes the pitch. He has been top scorer at the end of the season for his last two clubs, hitting 17 for both Neilston in 2001-02 (Martin didn't play football in 2002-03) and Lok in 2003-04.
