American Football: After a difficult start, Tynes has kicked on towards record haul

Lawrence Tynes, the Greenock-born American footballer, is on the brink of carving out his own niche in United States sporting history by becoming the first Scot to finish a season as top scorer in one of the country's major sports.

Having turned his talented right foot from soccer to American football while at high school in Florida, the New York Giants' kicker currently leads the scoring charts with 137 points, having made 33 of his 38 field goal attempts and all 38 of his point-after-touchdown kicks.
