  1. Between 1954 and 1998, Scotland qualified for the FIFA World Cup on 8 occasions. Despite some memorable performances and world class players at their disposal, Scotland have never reached beyond the group stage of any international tournament, and never won more than one match in a group. But what if 5 lucky Scotsmen not only progressed through a group but went on to pick up a bronze medal at a World Cup, would you believe it? Well they did… …for the USA! Of the 16 players selected to represent the United States at the inaugural World Cup in 1930, 5 of them were born and grew up in Scotland, and even their coach, Robert Millar, was Scottish. Defender: Alexander "Sandy " Wood, born in Lochgelly, Fife 12th June 1907 Midfielder: Andrew "Dasher " Auld, born in Stevenston, North Ayrshire, 30th April 1900 Midfielder: Jimmy Gallagher, born in Kirkintilloch, 7th June 1901 Forward: Bartholomew "Bart " McGhee, born in Edinburgh, 30th April 1899 Forward: James Brown, born in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, 31st December 1908 Hi folks, I'm Aidan, a filmmaker from Saltcoats. In 2022 I produced a short documentary about one of those US players, Andy Auld, who was born in raised in Stevenston, North Ayrshire where he played at Junior level as a midfielder for Stevenston and Parkhead before emigrating to the US where he turned out for Providence Clamdiggers and was called up to the US national team for the first time in 1926, scoring 2 goals on his debut. He would be called up again in 1930 as the country made their debut on the World stage where they would make it all the way to the semi-finals before being eliminated by a bullish Argentina side. The US were then awarded third place over Yugoslavia. In my research I discovered more and more details of this incredible story which suprisingly few people in Scotland have ever heard of. I'm hoping to use this topic / forum to share what I've found and bring it to a wider audience. Feel free to take a look at my video linked below. Andy Auld: Ardeer to America
  2. Morelos so much better because he is Colombian and scored more European goals than larsson did at celtic larsson is a big swedish fraud.
  3. Following on from the Highlands & Islands info thread: One of the perks of my job is that I get to go to the islands. What Scottish islands have you been to? Which ones did you like and why? Are there any you never wish to set foot on again? If so, why? So far I've been to the following: Mull Iona Tiree Colonsay Coll Islay Jura Gigha Bute Skye Orkney - Mainland Orkney Eday Stronsay Sanday Westray Hoy ETA: Arran Shetland Cumbrae North Uist South Uist Benbecula Eriskay Barra Lewis & Harris
  4. Seem to be mounting up! Christie, Dykes, Nesbitt, Cooper, anyone else? Add that to neither RWB playing, Hendry dropped. It's not far from becoming a FFS situation. Who can come in? How much more Scotland can this get? Why am I surprised?

  7. Hi all, After recently making it to the Euros, there's quite rightly a lot of excitement due to Scotland making it to their first tournament since 1998. The tartan army is notorious for their following, but all the euro games are scheduled to go ahead in the UK for Scotland. With the euros coming up soon, I'm interested to know the everyone's thoughts on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Would people travel to Qatar to follow Scotland if we make it through another qualification process? Seems like so many positives and negatives to hosting the tournament there, and with it being Scotland's first World Cup in over 20 years. Is there too much putting you off? The climate, culture, winter world cup? There is currently research being conducted at the University of Stirling on the Qatar 2022 World Cup, with views from UK football fans on their perceptions of Qatar and the World Cup. https://stirling.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/qatar-fifa-2022-world-cup
  8. Hi all, we at Football Memories Scotland have put together a brand new podcast called The Scottish Football Citizen. Each week we’ll be taking a look back at the best of Scottish football from yesteryear covering all levels from internationals to the juniors. We delve into the past looking at players, managers, big games and even the way we were back in the day. We’re looking to cover as much as we possibly can over the next while and feature as many teams as possible. Football Memories Scotland aims to help people with dementia by connecting the past and the present with images, audio and video of football in days gone by. Since starting in 2009 the project has gone from strength to strength and now we have groups up and down the length of the country. Unfortunately these groups haven’t been able to meet during the pandemic but some groups have gone virtual and continued their good work. The idea behind the new podcast is to try to engage with people who have dementia or sight issues during the pandemic as they have been hit hard by events this year – however we’re not just aimed at them, and we want to make a podcast that appeals to anyone with an interest in the game. Our first episode looks back at the 1956 Scottish Cup final between Hearts and Celtic, and we plan to release more in the new year. You can find us on Spotify HERE - and any suggestions and feedback are welcome. Our main site is HERE - we hope you enjoy listening!
