I think it's a bit more complicated than kids in Scotland choosing other options out of poverty. You can look at deprivation indices and investment and opportunities. And then you can look at thoze available in London/more affluent areas. I'm really fucking boring.
I think it's quite difficult to say "Scotland has no footballers" when there may be talent there but no one looking or no opportunity for talent to be coached. When in comparison in London, there are more people and perhaps more congregation points and perhaps more people looking.
