He played the first five league games of the season for St Johnstone and was then dropped to the reserves. In December 1926 he suffered a badly broken ankle in a reserve match in Aberdeen and was taken to hospital. If you search 'Willie Chalmers' there is a bit about him signing for Saints in the su...

The SFA handbook for 1937 has tour details and gives the Scotland scorers in this order: Meiklejohn pen, Duncan, Gallacher, Mills.

If nothing else, it does indicate further research needed!

I've just written about a mistake in the record books, as John Lambie did not play for Scotland aged 17 after all: http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/sports-history-news-and-blog/scotlands-youngest-internationalist-the-strange-tale-of-johnny-lambie Quite how this has escaped attention for over 100 ...

By the way, I see that you have the elder brother as George Brown Key. This is another Doug Lamming mistake, he was plain George Key, born 1878.

According to his autobiography he was called Ian as a boy, and certainly when he signed for Motherwell in 1957 he was known as Ian. However, when he got married the following year it was under his 'real' name of John.

And another! William Key (Vale of Clyde), two junior internationals in 1906. Senior international v Ireland with Queen's Park in 1907. Younger brother of George Key, who was also a double internationalist - junior in 1899, senior in 1902. What is more, the brothers had an impressive cup record. Both...

Just found another double international:

David Lindsay
Rutherglen Glencairn, capped v Ireland 25 March 1899
St Mirren, capped v Ireland 21 March 1903

Can't answer that fully, but Raith Rovers have a full calendar of fixtures in November 1889, with a game every Saturday. So there is nothing to indicate the game against Bellstane Birds was played.

John Granger 1899-1980

(played for Celtic 1922-25, also several other Scottish clubs in 1920s.)

Neil Gibson 1873-1947
Bill McCartney 1879-1945.
What are their links to Bristol Rovers?

Nobody called Tom Granger in the Celtic Who's Who. Do you mean John?

Got to be a journalistic error. The story on Hearts website says the games 'would today be recognized as Full Internationals' but clearly were not. The Canada game wasn't even against the Canadian national team, but their Olympic amateur eleven. https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/long-awaited-c...

There are references in Dundee Courier, as the opposition was a Dundee team. Final Saturday 17 May 1952 at Easter Road, Edinburgh Elphinstone Primrose 0 Ashdale 0 There seemed to be some difficulty in finding a ground for the replay, so it was five weeks later: Saturday 21 June 1952 at North End Par...

No, far from it.

17-year-old John Lambie was capped in 1886.

Before 1890 there were five 18-year-olds: Fred Anderson, Robert Christie, John Robertson Gow, James Tassie Richmond and William Sellar.

And several aged 19.
