Maybe not the oldest one club ground but Anniesland in the West End of Glasgow can take the laurel as the oldest continuously used football ground in Scotland. Jordanhill Football Club started playing on Anniesland Park south west of Anniesland Toll(junction of Great Western Rd, Crow Road and Bearsd...

Good news about the 1946 internationals. Thus, Bobby Brown remains the last Queen`s Park player to be "capped" @ full international status.

Thanks for that. I`ll have a look through contemporary newspapers for its longevity.

I`ve come across the McQUEEN CUP which is new to me. All I know is Dornoch & Brora Rangers met in January 1894. Does anyone have any details - years played, clubs etc.?

The third book in my cup trilogy has just been published. In 2014, HOW THE CUP WAS WON is a history of Scottish Cup Finals. This was followd by THE GLASGOW CUP a history of, well, the Glasgow Cup with statistics of all games. Now comes THE GLASGOW CHARITY CUP with the stories of all the games plus a...

I`ll do it in a minute once I`ve rearranged the keyboard so he types the words all wrong. Tee hee." Pa...

I wonder why an initial post doesn`t appear until I`ve waited for a half an hour then appears when I`ve sent another one. The rotter(not the first word which sprang to mind).

Masopust also played for Czechoslovakia @ Hampden on 26/9/1961 in a World Cup qualifying game. Masopust & 5 others played in the Final vs. Brazil the following year. Is he related to Lukas Masopust?

Has anyone bought a copy of Robin Holmes`s FORGOTTEN: SCOTLAND`S FORMER FOOTBALL LEAGUE CLUBS? I`ve got Dave Twydell`s REJECTED FC OF SCOTLAND and just wonder if Mr.Holmes`s is better/different.

A new name to me too. George is an unsual Scottish Christian name in the first place and the only Duncan I have in my records around the possible time is one who played as an outside forward for 2nd Sandyford vs. Queen`s Park Juniors on 13/2/1875. James G.Duncan played for Alexandra Athletic in 1878...
