How Scott McTominay's Napoli success has led to square sausage pizza creation

Scotland hero Scott McTominay has earned his own special brand of Neapolitan immortality....he's had his own pizza created for him in Italy with Scottish lorne sausage.

The Napoli star is a hero in the Italian city after his goals sent the club clear at the top of Serie A ahead of Champions League finalists Inter Milan.

And his growing status has now been cemented after Naples' most renowned pizza chef made a creation especially for McTominay called the 'McFratm pizza' in honour of the Napoli fans' nickname for the midfielder - McBro.

Antonio Troncone explained: "I watched an interview with Scott McTominay and he was asked what nickname he preferred.

"When he replied 'McFratm', I understood immediately. He is one of us.

"From there to pizza, the step was natural. The McFratm is a gastronomic and sentimental tribute to him.

"It has a white base, fior di latte cheese from Agerola, baked potatoes, lightly spiced Scottish lorne sausage and flakes of melted aged cheddar.

"Scotland and Naples, toughness and warmth. It's the pizza that resembles him.

"In one day of us selling it, it's already a cult order. On social media, they take pictures of it and add bagpipes and someone suggests officially launching it at the stadium soon too.

"The McFratm pizza has been an enormous success immediately.

"We have only ever made pizza before in honour of Diego Maradona and Marek Hamsik."
