Happy St Andrew's Day to everyone. Today @PollokFan and I are delighted to announce the publication of our new book. This is the anniversary of the 1st international match in 1872, and the 1st player featured in the book is Joe Taylor, Scotland full back in that game. 1/4

In the end, seven made it including @pollokfc, @BrechinCityFC and @Morton_FC, all special places whose people helped no end in the research for the book.

Headed through to Fife earlier in the week to pay my respects to Scotland's first ever goalscorer against Germany. Bill Imrie headed home a late equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw in Berlin in 1929.

Remembering former #CFC player Bob Griffiths who died #OTD in 1980. He was cremated at Breakspear Crematorium and his ashes scattered in the Garden of Remembrance. There is no known memorial. #neverforgotten #CFCHeritage zeemaps.com/view?group=38735…
