A true trailblazer, I understand he had been ill for a number of years. His work on the Scottish Cup is phenonemal and must surely be regarded as the high point of research of the game in this country. Although I was interested in the historical side of football that book was what really got me into...

From my own notes it was first played for in 1889-90 by junior clubs from Brechin. In 1901 it was reformed as the Brechin Junior League and from 1903 it was regraded as a juvenile competition. The town's three junior clubs in competed for again in 1950. The winners I have are as follows... 1889-90 C...

I bought a copy of Robin's book yonks ago and it is well thumbed! Any historian worth their salt should snap this up pronto.

A post on a Millwall forum mentions a care home in Wilmington in Dartford.

Alan, I dug this out from my notes Round robin, each club played the other once only with the top two meeting in a 'final'. I'm not sure if the Renton/Dumbarton Harp match was played but if Renton had won it they would have been in with a chance of being in the final. Clydebank - Dumbarton 2-2 Clyde...

I've collated a few seasons during the 1890s but the post 1900s do need serious research!

Version 3 is now available for general download. Because of some hosting issues I have created a new subsiduary site that will hopefully eventually contain as much Junior content as possible and this will host the Database. The new site's address is... Scottish Junior Football History with the link ...

John Litster's disc has some info on Div 2 scorers but is very, VERY incomplete. I understand that an update is planned for publication in about two years time, but my guess is to research this list in the meantime if you need the info pronto.

Which prompts the question: did Rangers play a full-ish strength team against Partick that night?

I have Rangers res beating Partick 6-0 in a Second XI Cup tie that night...

Hearts HAVE previously played 4 games at Murrayfield, so this DOES give them a massive advantage over Celtic.

Who writes Brendan's scripts???

According to Litster his first name was Allan and was an outside or inside left.

He signed from Blantyre Hibernian on 19 Jan 1903 and his last entry is for 1907-08. From 1905-06 til then he was on the League's OTT list.

Our Bob eh! Was there also a fanzine or website called "boring boring Arsenal"? It rings a bell! And guess what, Forrest... the filmed version is available on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmX4BJGcEp8.

And that's only £200 less than a season ticket for Highbury, oops Emirates! And probably more exciting...
