Synopsis

Every generation has its own football field magicians, and A Scottish Football Hall of Fame encapsulates the Saturday afternoon spell cast by fine footballers for ordinary working men who lived to cheer on their heroes every week. Fervor was passed down from father to son, and in this way the future of the clubs as well as the fame of a few golden greats was guaranteed. Players like R.S.McColl (Queen's Park), Bobby Walker (Hearts), Alan Morton (Rangers), Denis Law (Manchester United), and Kenny Dalglish (Celtic) are in this pantheon, and they span the arc of Scottish football from its earliest days till modern times. These, and more than a hundred like them, are the men you will read about in these pages. Men who were once household names are captured here in their sporting immortality and introduced to generations of football enthusiasts who never saw them play.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr Cairney was one of those sons lifted over the turnstile by his father and he has had a love of football ever since. Even through a career as an actor, which has lasted more that 50 years and allowed him to travel the world, he never missed a chance to take in a game wherever he could. He is the author of more than a dozen books, including two volumes of autobiography. He now lives in New Zealand with his wife, actress/writer, Alannah O'Sullivan.,
