Sir Alex Ferguson has inspired an online scouting venture.
Manchester United ace Chicharito came on to Ferguson's radar after he saw clips of him playing online.
The Mexican magician is now one of United's best players and that inspired Celtic legend Joe Miller to launch his new business venture viascout.com.
He told the Scottish Sun: "It's something I'm really passionate about. Players like Chris Smalling, Owen Hargreaves and Chicharito were all picked up through the web.
"I know that story from Sir Alex. He sent his scout to Mexico for a month and told him 'Don't come back without him'.
"The technology is there so the time is right to take advantage of it.
"There are kids out there. clubs just don't have the resources to send people to watch them.
"If we get these kids' details out there then clubs can tap into it. The prospect of finding a kid like Hernandez through our site has to be the dream."
