Picture 4 doesn't look quite right in terms of the relative positions of players, linesman, ball, pitch markings and the crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfermline Don Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Picture 4 doesn't look quite right in terms of the relative positions of players, linesman, ball, pitch markings and the crowd.Was Bramall Lane not also a cricket ground. That could explain a large open area before the terrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Bartender Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Without trawling through the past 440 pages of this thread, I can't tell if anyone has previously posted a link to the gottfriedfuchs website. Just the thing to waste hours on. If you've not been there before, it has a vast collection of international football trivia and photos dating from before 1937. There's a fair bit of the Scottish game represented. Even the Buddies find a place -http://gottfriedfuchs.blogspot.com/search/label/Saint%20Mirren And "...the best football on earth, the highest paid football experts in the world" (cough, splutter) - http://gottfriedfuchs.blogspot.com/search/label/Celtic Internationally I've now discovered that the referee really was a b*****d - http://gottfriedfuchs.blogspot.com/search/label/Segar%20b*****d And vaguely surreally, in 1890 the Irish Cup was won by a Scottish team (another lost the final two years later) - http://gottfriedfuchs.blogspot.com/2013/09/irish-football-association-challenge-cup.html and there are even Hibs... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) It's 1968 and you can show you are a staunch house with a wonderful piece of homewear. Archie MacPherson has been wearing a Gers rug on his heid since 1968.

Lurkst Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Had to find a Denis picture on this sad day. Here is the great man receiving the European footballer of the year award in 1964. Still the only Scot to be honoured so... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piquet Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I was watching a recording of "The Big Match Revisited" which ITV4 is showing, today. The episode was the 3rd of October 1976 and Brian Moore read a letter from a lady in Fulham. Her Dad, Watty White had played for Scotland v England in 1908. She sent in his jersey which Moore showed us and I took a photo of the screen. His Cap for the match was also shown. He also said that he earned £28 0s 6d from his testimonial. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Wattie White was from Crookedholm in Ayrshire. He went from Hurlford to Bolton Wanderers and then to Fulham via Everton, a losing FA Cup final appearance and 2 Scotland caps, both v England. He got wounded in WWI, played after the war until he was 40 and died aged 68 in 1950 in Fulham. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read in a Billy Kay book that the composer Grieg's father was from Britain ( maybe Scottish but I'd need to find the book) and that the family name was changed from Greig, so maybe the printers were just trying to represent diversity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Went to Wiki and Grieg's great grandfather settled in Norway after 1770. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
