Dundee Evening Telegraph, 8 November 1921: 'Jamie Scott, Third Lanark's right half back, is lying seriously ill. The ex-Dumbarton-Liverpool middleman belongs down Kilwinning way.'

Also, he was on Third Lanark's transfer list in May 1923, but that could just be an administrative thing.

From 'They Wore the Dark Blue':

11 May 1966, Shelbourne 2 Dundee 4
13 May 1966, Cork Celtic 2, Dundee 5
15 May 1966, Limerick 0, Dundee 1

It was a fourth round tie in 1957/58, with brief highlights shown on Scotsport that night. It might have been longer but fog and poor light made it difficult for TV recording.

The line-ups are not in the newspapers - perhaps distracted by the Falklands War and the Scottish Cup Final - but I managed to find the team in the SFA Annual: 23 May 1982, at Kotka. Referee F Latzin (Austria) R Rae (Hibernian), D Beaumont (Dundee United), J Philliben (Stirling Albion), D Rennie (Le...

John 'Jock' McNab (Scotland cap 1923) was a late starter in professional football because of the First World War. He was already 25 when he joined Liverpool from Bellshill Athletic in 1919. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about his war service, apparently in the Army? And whether he played ...

A question for Partick Thistle historians: former Scotland internationalist Adam McLean was appointed assistant trainer at Thistle in 1938, and was still assisting Davie Meiklejohn in the late 1940s. Any idea when he left the club? The handbooks don't give details of coaching staff, and there are no...

One thing to note about Davie Russell is that he is regularly confused with another Davie Russell, who also played for Preston North End. The Hearts and Celtic player was born 9 January 1871 at Shotts (whereas Wiki, Lamming and other sources say born in Airdrie in 1868). He died 8 November 1952 in F...

Those with a long memory will recall a previous thread on this very subject!

Ally MacLeod at 61 will take some beating, albeit in a reserve team.

Yes, thanks for checking. In fact they have identified the wrong man - easy enough with a common name like Robertson! He was a school teacher in Fife, which didn't seem to tally with someone involved in a drunken shooting incident, so on further checking I found the 'correct' Robertson's birth and m...

Has anyone ever come across an obituary for Jimmy Robertson, who was capped a couple of times in 1931? He was at Dundee at the time, then went to Birmingham City, Kilmarnock and (briefly) Elgin City. He was born in Dundee in 1906 but I can't find a date of death. The last references to him in BNA ar...

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...
