i can't link pathologist with anyone who's been metioned on nsc.
as a wild and totally uninformed, yet mildly diverting and rumour mongering stab in the dark, how about this.
Pathologist - some form of medical person, probably fictional. Pathologist often diagnoses things, hey why not Diagnosis Murder. Dick Van Dyke character is called Mark Sloan. Can't find a Mark Sloan, but there is a Robert Sloan who is a young forward (21) who plays for Hearts.
Hmm, thinking of any fictional characters on tv or film who play pathologists ...
Anyone know of a player called Sam Ryan??
Silent Witness is the programme, so is RLZ having a joke about a player who was a 'Silent Witness' at one of these Premiership football scandals .... Carlton Cole has got a club sorted out, isn't he going to Villa. Lee Bowyer is hardly a forward.
