CALUM'S TOO CHILLED TO BE LIKE BORUC

BY FRASER WILSON

- 

CALUM WARD heard all about Artur Boruc’s crazy antics at Bournemouth - but don't expect the laid-back Motherwell keeper to become a copycat.

Ward was coming through the ranks when former Celtic hero Boruc was No.l with the Cherries and got a glimpse of what the Pole was all about.

None of it will surprise Hoops supporters ahead of Ward and his Well mates travelling to Parkhead today.

But while the Englishman is preparing to play in front of a crowd three times bigger than anything he has ever faced, he insists the secret to his success is staying calm.

He said: “Boruc was one of the first-team keepers when | was 17 or 18.1 trained a couple of times with the first team and he was a big character.

“Lnever got that close to him but | heard stories from some of the other lads.

“He didn't take any stick! If you gave him something, he'd give you it back.
