About Andrew Aitken:
“Aitken is not a ‘showy’ half. He can occupy either the win or centre position. It was at the latter that he gained fame with Newcastle, although it has been on the wing that he has operated for Scotland. Aitken is a hard, plodding player, depending more on anticipating a player’s movements than on pace.”
