A somewhat uninformed article on the subject of Polish players in Scottish football appears in today's Scotsman http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/ ... -1-3991003. Ignores the presence of Polish players in Scotland in the period immediately after the war.

Just to report my website has been completely redesigned and Soccer History Magazine is now available as a digital download: http://www.soccer-history.co.uk. Scottish content for Issue 34 includes Division B 1945-46 with full stats for appearances and goals for each club; an account of a visit by th...

Thanks for the information provided. Just to clarify: the problem I am having is that in quite a few cases players have been traditionally recorded as having been killed in action (and have been remembered on Armistice Day each year in recent times) but when I go back to the original sources I canno...

I am persevering with my list of FL and Southern League players and hope to launch the Roll of Honour very shortly on my website http://www.soccer-history.co.uk which is currently in the process of being rebuilt. I am looking for help with some queries: John/James Fleming. Although this appears to b...

I am trying to find details of George Falconer's debut in senior football. John Lister's disk says he made 1 appearance for Montrose (possibly as a triallist?) during 1965-66. Any ideas which match this was?

Thanks for this.

Looking for help to complete a list of the above.

I'm trying to locate the scores of these matches played by Scotland XIs: 18 November 1945 v Combined Services in Hamburg There were two fixtures played in a brief tour as follows: Saturday 17 November At Celle Combined Services XI 2 (Westcott, McKennan), Scottish FA XI 4 (Delaney 2, Walker 2) Sunda...

To add a few points. The situation with the clubs in the 1860s (both in England and Scotland) is quite fluid. The London (i.e. Football Association) dates from 1863, however it was initially most important in London and the Home Counties of England. The Sheffield Association had separate rules and t...

The Ayr Advertiser for 30 March 1944 reported the death of Sandy Brown (ex Glenbuck Athletic, Tottenham, Preston, Portsmouth, etc) at the home of his brother in Granity, New Zealand. Report states he played for Glenbuck Athletic as a 16-year-old and that he emigrated to New Zealand 22 years ago (ie ...

Many thanks for the responses. I had done some work in local papers which show the Partick/East Fife man was with Dumbarton but couldn't link him to the Forfar/Stenhousemuir player and the 2 versions of Litster's disk differ on this. Stewart McLean was clearly a regular for Dumbarton in the first ha...

Stewart McLean was on the books of Dumbarton in 1949-50 and a regular first team player but I cannot trace his stats in the usual scources. Can anyone help out with a breakdown of his appearances and goals by competition (SL, SC, SLC) please. Also is there any definite evidence this is the same play...
