Re: Daniel Munro (Cowdenbeath/Dunfermline Athletic)
Cowdenbeath certainly signed him from Kelty Rangers but other than that I'm not much help. There doesn't seem to have been a Daniel Munro born in Fife at the appropriate time so could he perhaps have gained representative honours earlier in his career, with a club outside Fife? Also, at the beginnin...

Re: Scotland Under-18 team in 1972
The Scottish scorers were:
Hungary - Kenny Burns (2 - both in the opening six minutes) & Steve Finnieston
West Germany - Burns (80)
USSR - Burns & Jim Scott
18 year-old Burns played so impressively that on his return he was called up to the senior Scotland squad by manager Tommy Docherty.

Re: D v S
Todd didn't play in the 1911 D v S match so he was either awarded the cap for being twelfth man in 1910/11 or for playing in the 1911/12 fixture. In 1911 Kelvindale Park was flooded so the game was switched to Coxdale Park, home of Kirkintilloch Harp. He also played against Stirlingshire on 19 Febru...
Re: D v S
He was selected as reserve for the match against Stirlingshire on 18 February 1911 at Kelvinside Park, Kirkintilloch. The BNA site has gone down for maintenance (on a Saturday, as usual) so I'll check later to see if he actually played. He did play for Dunbartonshire against Renfrewshire on 15 Janua...

Re: DUNBLANE ROVERS
There were small reports in the Courier and the Scotsman on Thursday 28 April but neither listed the teams. The Courier's read: "Queen's Park visited Dunblane on Tuesday evening and played the local junior combination, Dunblane Rovers. The famous amateurs, who had out six of their first team, were g...
Re: D v S
He played for Clydebank Juniors and was selected for the inter-county match between Stirlingshire and Dumbartonshire (as the Scottish Referee spelt it) on 24 February 1912 at the Emmet Ground, Kilsyth. Unfortunately, he had to withdraw due to a family bereavement.

Re: Young players joining professional clubs
S-Forms were introduced in 1967 at the request of Scottish clubs but came in the wake of one of them provoking a storm of controversy by signing a 13 year-old, which rendered him ineligible for a possible schoolboy cap. It was mainly intended to counter the problem of talented youngsters heading to ...

Re: Harold Uren
When Frederick Uren began playing for Dunfermline he was employed at the munitions/ordnance works at Crombie, a couple of miles along the coast from Rosyth. He was still working there in September 1916 - he was fined for showing too much illumination from his house at 23 Camp Road in Crombie! There ...

Re: Old League Cup criteria
Sorry, forgot to add the following. It looks like the winners of sections 5-8 were entered into a draw to see who would play the winners of section nine. In 1955 & 1956 the section winner with the lowest points did indeed play the section nine winners but not the following year - Montrose played Ham...

Re: Old League Cup criteria
The only mention I've come across is in "The First 100 Years" by Bob Crampsey, who wrote that from 1955 (when the league increased to 37 clubs) the winner of section nine had to play a decider against one of the other Second Division clubs. It looks like sections 1-4 were the domain of the top sixte...

Re: Scottish Footballers Roll of Honour
It's been a while since this was updated so hopefully this will kick-start it with a view to the centenary of the armistice later in the year. Apologies if these five have already been included - I had a quick look and they don't appear to be, but I've made that mistake before. Harry Adam - Private ...

Re: Scottish Rovers
Alex Donald made seven league appearances for Dunfermline in 1936/37, without scoring. All seven ended in defeat with thirty goals conceded. From information supplied by another Rovers historian, Stephen Byrne, Alex Donald died on 6 July 1974 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. John was his young...
