Biography
Adrian Sprott (born 23 March 1962 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish former footballer, who played for Meadowbank, Hamilton and Stenhousemuir.
Sprott played for Hamilton in the Scottish Premier Division as a semi-professional player, as he combined his football career with working for Lothian & Borders Police. During that period, Sprott scored a goal that knocked Rangers out of the Scottish Cup in a famous cup upset. It also ended a British record period of Rangers goalkeeper Chris Woods not conceding a goal. Sprott still works for what is now Police Scotland.
