Former Bulls youth player and loanee Neil Mackenzie is to attempt to dispel rumours about footballers intellectual capacity by appearing on Countdown.
Midfielder Mackenzie appears on Monday's show, the first professional footballer in the programme's 25 year history after passing auditions for the 59th series. A programme spokesman said: "It was great to have Neil on the show. He was a good sport and we hope this encourages other sportsmen and women to have a go."
Mackenzie started as a youth player at Edgar Street, but quickly moved on before making a loan return from Scunthorpe in October 2006. He is currently with Notts County. The programme can be seen on Channel 4 on Monday at 3.25pm.
