Ayr United on This Day

Where were you on Sunday 15 May 2016, when the final whistle blew at the Championship play-off? Where were Ayr United playing when Willie Japp''''s miskickwon the game? Think about Norway 1928; Sweden 1928, 1998 and 2000; Canada 1973 and 1975; France 1973; Nigeria 1976; the Irish Republic 1994 and Austria 2009. Were you there? Wherever and whenever Ayr United have played, the spirit of the club has remained alive. You don''''t need to have an obsession with dates to enjoy this blend of statistics, player photographs, archive programmes and other football memorabilia from the vast resources of Duncan Carmichael.

A man eminently qualified to understand what drives thehuman mind to alternate between elation and despair, the author requires no other introduction. See more
