I wonder if anyone can resolve a little query about the goalkeeper Bill Harper, who won 11 Scotland caps in the 1920s. His date of death is quoted in most sources as 12 April 1989 in Plymouth. However, according to the Probate calendar, he died in 25 April 1989. There don't seem to be any obituaries...

Without conceding nearly as many goals, Stirling Albion didn't score in their last 14 games of the 80-81 season. In fact, no goals scored from 31 January until 8 August, albeit the run included four 0-0 draws.

I just visited the exhibition at Summerlee Heritage Centre in Coatbridge, to mark 100 years of Albion Rovers at Cliftonhill: https://culturenl.co.uk/summerlee-exhibitions/ It's main feature is the photos by Iain McLean, who has been documenting the club and its fans for several years, but there are ...

Belatedly, another match which cropped up in the Courier, 29 May 1947. The description of an undefeated side suggests they played regularly. GERMANS "INVADE" CUPAR German prisoners war from miles around flocked to Duffus Park, Cupar, last night. They saw their crack undefeated side snatch a last-min...

Going further back, Rangers played Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup on 28 November 1874. And the first Edinburgh derby was 25 December 1875.

I've had this query sent by Sandy MacKenzie. Can anyone help? I've tried, unsuccessfully as yet, to find information (let alone accessible information) relating to the Edinburgh Amateur football scene from around 1960. I've found medals in my brother's house from the early 1960's to the mid 1970's ...

Does anyone know where LL died? Most obituaries make no reference, the Herald says in a nursing home, presumably somewhere around London or Kent.

A couple of other queries about Livingston's career: Several accounts say he played for Dumbarton before joining Hearts in 1896, but I can find no record of this. As far as I can tell, he was with Artizan Thistle (a Dumbarton juvenile team), and had a brief trial with Parkhead juniors before going s...

He was appointed manager of Dumbarton in January 1919 and stayed with them until summer of 1920 when he became trainer of Rangers. I don't think he had a connection with Clydebank.

I don't think they are online, but I have them in the Athletic News Annuals.

I haven't checked them for accuracy!

With the death of Eric Caldow on 4 March, while the board was out of commission, the survivors' eleven has taken another hit.

I'm happy to say that I have now taken on the role of administrator for the message board. Since the board was created in June 2005 by David Ross it has been a great success. Alan Brown took over as administrator about four years ago, and as he is no longer able to do so I volunteered to take it on....

Good to see that Rose Reilly's story is being brought to the small screen this summer. Purple TV have put together a film of her footballing life and exploits, and it will be shown on BBC Alba in June - coinciding with the women's World Cup. Some interesting background from Margot McCuaig, the produ...

To mark 60 years since the match, I've written a wee article about it: http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/spo ... birmingham

And thanks to newly digitised newspapers, the 'huge' crowd can be revealed as ... 3,200.
