I should add, there are a couple of cheap second-hand copies of the book on amazon just now - which surprised me as it has been out of print for years.

There's a terrific book which has the full story of the Crystal Palace ground, with lavish illustrations: 'To the Palace for the Cup' (1999) by Ian Bevan, Stuart Hibberd and Michael Gilbert. You are right that the fire in 1936 brought an end to football matches, but only on a temporary basis. Corint...

I've never seen Volume 1, which was apparently done in very small quantities as it was hand-copied and had over 800 pages (!). Vol 2 is not exactly high-tech: ring bound, A4 and almost 200 pages so it weighs a ton. I think all of Alex Smith's books (Bonnyrigg, Tranent, Newtongrange, Arniston, Whiteh...

I think perhaps you might have to source the match programmes for these games, or at least find a collector who has a copy.

Alternatively, find a copy for sale on ebay and send a polite message to the seller, asking them to check the ref.

I've been working recently on a Scottish non-league bibliography and have just posted it on my website: http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/football-books-non-league.html I hope people find it useful - it is incredible how much material has been published. If you have any additions or corrections, p...

From the Football League Players Records: Mike S Phillips joined Grimsby Town in Jan 1955 to end of the season, made six appearances with one goal. Born 18 January 1933 in Cumnock (Michael Shirkie Phillips). William Smith joined Carlisle Utd in March 1963, no appearances. Joined Sheffield United Jul...

New book just published: 1824: The World's First Foot-Ball Club by John Hutchinson and Andy Mitchell. http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/uploads/3/3/6/0/3360867/published/first-foot-ball-club-cover-lo-res.jpg?1525026174 This is the story of the world's very first club dedicated to football, founded...

Picked a random season, 1970-71, and have a couple of comments:

East Fife v St Mirren, R3 second replay. Was won by St Mirren.
St Mirren v Rangers, R4, correct score 1-3

I also found an obituary on the Buckie Heritage site, reproduced from the local paper of 23 January 1974: Death of north sportsman and prominent figure in professional life - The death took place of Alex Smith a well-known north sportsman and prominent figure in professional life in the Buckie area....

See the short announcement in the Aberdeen Press and Journal, 10 January 1947, when he was appointed manager of Buckie Thistle.

He played for Buckie Thistle, Forres Mechanics and Liverpool, but lost a leg in Burma during the war. He was awarded the Military Cross.

Bobby McKay (Robert McInnes McKay) died 10 June 1977 in Glasgow.

I've just had full details, via an Austrian contact, of the Austria side which played Scotland in the UEFA Amateur final of 1967. Austria: Johann Schorn (SC Eisenstadt) Rudolf Babler (SCG Brunn) Günter Scheffl (Elektra) Gerhard Zacsek (SC Marchegg) Walter Suttner (SC Eisenstadt) Ferdinand Milanovich...

I think these were probably the Scottish Association of Boys Clubs internationals.

Scotland played Wales on Friday 16 March 1962, at Villa Park in Birmingham for some reason. The match is only mentioned in the papers as Billy Wright attended.
