michael Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hello, I'm involved in curating The Robin Marwick Collection, a forthcoming display of Robin Marwick's Albion Rovers archives. Robin, who passed away last year, wrote 2 books about the club and has documented its entire history in his collection. A display of some of this will be held at Summerlee Museum in Coatbridge. I've attached a poster to this post. I've been digitising some of the fantastic images from the collection and these will be made available online later this week. More information and a link to the online content will be available at http://culturenl.co.uk/robinmarwick/ This really is a fantastic collection and it's been a pleasure being involved in it. I'm posting here to let any Rovers' fans or Scottish football fans in general know about it as I think it deserves a wide audience. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride_of_the_Clyde Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Are these books available for purchase, mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Are these books available for purchase, mate? I would imagine that they would be both out of publication as they were written in 86 and 89. You may be able to pick one up on ebay mind you.
