Unique Scottish Football Memorabilia


Recommended Posts

Every year the SFA give each of the competing finalists in the Scottish cup a quaich in a presentation box with a small branded bottle of whisky. 

They supposedly get 3 made and the 3rd one from our final in 2014 was donated as a raffle prize and I won it. The associate director who donated the prize works for the whisky brand and managed to get the box signed by Tommy Wright, captain Dave MacKay along with the scorers Steven Anderson and Steven MacLean.

I have my great-grandfather’s SFA President’s medal from 1888 which he wore on his watch chain and which Im told gained him access to any football match in the country. Useful.

Edited to add: His home club was 3rd LRV [emoji4]

What pieces of unique Scottish football memorabilia do you own? Not simply a signed strip or an Ally McCoist autographed beer mat, something that nobody else in the country will have.

For me, it's a bit of a strange 'un. In 2005, I was living just off Blythswood Square in Glasgow, and was heading to Sauchiehall Street for a night out. On the way through the square, I saw something shiny on the ground. Being from Kilmarnock I stopped to get a better look, and saw the back of what looked like a French immigration card. Turned it over, and whose card was it? Only Rangers striker Dado Prso's.

Being the good Samaritan that I am, I rejected an offer from a Rangers supporting pal to buy it off me, and contacted the club the next day to see if I could get an address to forward it on to him. The clown that answered informed me that "We don't accept gifts for players". I reiterated that it wasn't a pressie for everyone's favourite ponytailed Croatian striker, it was his immigration card, and kinda important. She put me on hold and came back to tell me that someone would be in touch. Nobody ever called.

So to this day, I have Dado Prso's immigration card. Shame it expired in 2010.

Not like QLP to come into possession of somebody else's ID.
