Something interesting about Zain

Midfielder/striker, born 12 December 2000.
Robbie joined Livingston Hearts in 2007 and is one of most determined players in the squad. His tenacity and running power are assets in midfield but he loves nothing better than bursting into the penalty area to score goals.
