Fudgey Wudge Head of Security @ Scotzine.com

With increased exposure of Scotzine.com through Scottish football, there was a need to protect our staff from the riff raff who like to smash referee’s windows, send death threats, as well as trash the property of players. So Scotzine put out feelers to find a Security specialist with the necessary skills and ability.

And thats when we found Fudge. Hailing from a wee farm outside of Kilmarnock, he was brought to the Paisley area to protect the Scotzine premises, and despite brief stints in the kennels he has provided 24/7 security ever since.

He shows us on a daily basis, his experience of investigative behaviour, street smart and cunning instinct, to head up our security outfit. However he does have his weaknesses, such as tennis balls and being feared of three-legged labradors.
