This sport career hopeful scored an own goal when he spotted Megan McBurnie on networking site LinkedIn and decided to pick her brains for career advice.
A Scots football executive had a sharp putdown for a would-be wit who suggested she “flirted” to get on in her job.
Megan McBurnie, who works for English top flight side West Bromwich Albion, posted a screenshot of the sexist exchange on Twitter – and got a flood of support.
The Twitter twit, whose identity Megan has kept secret, scored an own goal when he spotted her on networking site LinkedIn and decided to pick her brains for career advice.
He wrote: “I wanted some advice on getting into football, particularly the marketing side. I’m graduating from uni next year with a degree in marketing. Do you have any tips?”
