pozbaird 20,991 Report post Posted February 20, 2017 A while ago, in clearing my mum's house, I discovered in a box, the Scottish Football Book 1960. It was a hard-back affair and appeared to be the annual season review. The book opened with an account of Hearts winning the title at Killie's expense with a game against us at Love Street. Later in the book was a feature on Gerry Baker. The rest of the book covered the international team's progress and the story of the season for clubs like Clyde, Motherwell, Celtic, Rangers.... I have scanned and tarted up the pages relevant to us, hopefully some folk will find it interesting. There are eight pages, the first five relate to the game at LS, the last three are the Gerry Baker article. I will attach a scanned page as individual posts. The initial story about Hearts at Love Street goes on to a further three pages from where I stopped scanning, but those pages amount to an overall review of Hearts season. I loved reading stuff like Hearts fans were 'gay in maroon rosettes..' Different times! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Mc 1,614 Report post Posted February 20, 2017 Used to have this plus the preceding two seasons which of course covered our cup win. They were great reads including Scotland games in the World Cup qualifying. Gave them to a guy who collected football books seriously about 30 years ago. Hope he didn't flog them after a few years. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Mc 1,614 Report post Posted February 23, 2017 1968/69 was the first time I got the annual new. Think Andy McFadden was highlighted as a star of the future. Also Jimmy Bone then of Thistle. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
