Goals don't change even up a level... but my son won't see after saying he's going to the Lambie

YOU can't choose your family but you can choose your club - just ask Brian Graham's 10-year-old Daniel.

- BY ALAN ROBERTSON

The 37-year-old striker made his decision to move on from Partick Thistle this month after five-and-a-half years but his boy isn't for budging.

Championship top scorer after seeing out the final three months of the season as interim boss with Mark Wilson, the men's job beckoned after taking the women for almost five years.

Instead, after going through an interview and being offered it, he turned it down.

Wilson was unveiled less than 48 hours later and Graham has swapped Firhill for a reunion with his former Raith Rovers gaffers John McGlynn and Paul Smith at Falkirk.

TV cameras have regularly caught Daniel celebrating with his old man these past few seasons and, asked if he's going to Bairns' games on Saturday or Thistle's, Graham said: "He's told me he's going to the Lambie.

"He's 10 years of age, half his life was Partick Thistle.

"He still loves the club and was telling me not to leave but he knows that dad had to go.

"That was the big decision. My daughter was telling me, 'I don't want you to leave either' because we were so close to the club.

"I got on great with the ground staff, the office staff, a massive part of my life, and obviously taking the women's team as well.

"I've even still been helping the women's players try to do their contracts, they're phoning me for advice.
