St Johnstone starlet, Fran Franczak, has played a part in a victory for Poland over England.
The young Perth midfielder was given half-an-hour of action in the Friday afternoon under-18 clash in Spain.
The Poles fell behind to a first half goal, scored by Aston Villa’s Ben Broggio, but levelled the match up before half-time.
Then, with Franczak on the pitch, they took the lead and sealed the win shortly before full-time.
Saints’ youngest ever player now has a game against the winner of Belgium versus Germany to look forward to.
This is his second call-up for Poland’s under-18s.
Franczak, who was born in Limanowa but brought up in Perth and Aberfeldy, played as a right wing-back against England.
Simo Valakari believes his long-term future is in midfield and the Saints boss admitted that he has been unlucky to not yet get Premiership game-time under him.
