FIRST AND LAST CHANCE Hoilett knows it's a must-win in Poland tomorrow
JUNIOR HOILETT remembers racing home from school in Ontario to watch his heroes Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldinho strut their stuff thousands of miles away in the magical realms of the Champions League.
He always dreamed of one day gracing that stage himself.
But even though the winger spent years in the Premier League promised land with Blackburn, QPR and Cardiff, he never got close to experiencing any form of European football.
It's only now at Hibs, in the twilight of his impressive career, the Canadian is getting that first taste of continental fare. It might be the third tier but the Conference League is living up to expectations.
