A Celebration of Anglo-Scottish Footballers
PUBLISHED MARCH 2025

A Celebration of Anglo-Scottish Footballers

Normaler Preis £25.00
A Nostalgic Journey Across the Border
This title will be released on March 31, 2025
In their fourth collaborative work, David Stuart and Robert Marshall have crafted a compelling chronicle that bridges the River Tweed, celebrating the indelible mark Scottish footballers have left on English football. This hardcover tome, set for release in March 2025, isn't just another sports book; it's a loving tribute to the tartan talent that has enriched English football for over seven decades. 
The authors, known for their work on the beloved "Scotland Forever!" magazine and their previous books blending football with social history, bring their characteristic mix of passion and precision to this latest project. Their background as Partick Thistle supporters and fanzine veterans lends the work an authentic voice that speaks to both casual fans and devoted followers of the sport.
What sets this book apart is its dual focus on both the legendary figures and the cult heroes. The authors give due reverence to the towering figures of Scottish football, Denis Law, Kenny Dalglish, and Billy Bremner, who dominated English football during its golden age. The book particularly shines in its exploration of how these players became integral parts of legendary teams built by managerial giants like Bill Nicholson and Bob Paisley. 
The inclusion of Scottish managers who became English football institutions, Matt Busby, Bill Shankly, and Sir Alex Ferguson, adds crucial context to what The Guardian has called the Scottish influence that came to "both decorate and reinforce the very best English league teams." 
Perhaps the book's most endearing quality is its celebration of the lesser-known Scottish players who became local legends at their respective English clubs. The authors' treatment of figures like Jim Cannon at Crystal Palace, Willie Carr at Coventry City, and Ted MacDougall at Bournemouth reveals how Scottish players have enriched English football at every level, not just at the game's summit.
The visual presentation deserves special mention. The authors have assembled an impressive collection of trading cards, matchday programmes, and magazine covers that bring these stories to vibrant life. These artefacts serve not just as illustrations but as historical documents that capture the zeitgeist of different eras in Anglo-Scottish football relations.
Stuart and Marshall's writing style effectively blends scholarly research with the passion of fans. Their previous collaboration on the "Sick in the Basin" fanzine and their long-running "Scotland Forever!" publication have honed their ability to tell compelling stories that resonate with both the heart and the mind.
If there's any criticism to be made, it might be that some readers will wish for more coverage of the contemporary era, as the book's emotional centre clearly lies in the post-war golden age of Scottish talent in English football. However, this focus reflects a period when Scottish players were truly dominant in English football, with just five Scottish players winning Premier League medals in the 32 seasons since the league's rebranding.
This book is more than just a sports chronicle; it's a social history that examines how Scottish football talent helped shape English football's most glorious epochs. For anyone interested in the rich tapestry of British football history, this work provides an essential perspective on how the beautiful game evolved through the contributions of players from north of the border.
Soccerbooks synopsis : Perfect for: football historians, memorabilia collectors, and anyone interested in the golden age of Scottish influence on English football. The book will particularly appeal to supporters of clubs that have been home to notable Scottish players, as well as those fascinated by the social history of British football.
