Scottish football authors David Stuart and Robert Marshall cross the border to salute the contributions and successes of their fellow countrymen and women who have displayed their skills in the English football leagues – from the end of the Second World War to the present day.
They take a celebratory look at great Scots – Law, Mackay, Bremner, Dalglish, Gemmill, Strachan, McAllister and other – who have played their part in era-defining teams crafted by the likes of Bill Nicholson, Don Revie, Brian Clough and Bob Paisley, plus Scots managers Matt Busby, Bill Shankly and Alex Ferguson.
As well as celebrating the top-notchers, the book pays tribute to various lesser lights – Caledonian cult heroes who’ve been immortalised in England’s green and pleasant land, including Jim McNichol (Torquay United), Willie Carr (Coventry City) and Ted MacDougall (Bournemouth).
These riveting tales of Anglo-Scottish players are brought to life by stunning colour images of trading cards, matchday programmes and magazines.
David Stuart and Robert Marshall are Scotland and Partick Thistle supporters, collectors, writers and delusionists who first collaborated in 1992 on the Jags fanzine Sick in the Basin. Since 2014 they have co-produced the paper-based bi-annual fanzine Scotland Forever! , which is dedicated to the national football teams. They have co-written three previous books that fuse football with social history, humour and memorabilia.
