Born in Glasgow. They must be basing it on that.Alex McLeish had more caps than Bob mcphail surely???
Bellshill Maternity, for - what feels like - myself and probably 50% of this forum!Super Ally, North Lanarkshire? I guess they are using which hospital they were born in. Although North Lanarkshire didn't exist when he was born.
Doesn’t seem right - and I would have thought Andy Robertson is running McLeish close on caps now as well.Alex McLeish had more caps than Bob mcphail surely???
77 for McLeish, 68 for Robertson.Doesn’t seem right - and I would have thought Andy Robertson is running McLeish close on caps now as well.
Ye beat me to it , I can only mind him being from Pitlochry , but it turns out he was born in Ellon in the shireI had no idea Paul Sturrock was from Ellon tbh.
And E.K. is South Lanarkshire. I guess he popped oot in Bellshill maternity? That would be N. Lanarkshire.Super Ally, North Lanarkshire? I guess they are using which hospital they were born in. Although North Lanarkshire didn't exist when he was born.
Yeah that's right.And E.K. is South Lanarkshire. I guess he popped oot in Bellshill maternity? That would be N. Lanarkshire.
I thought he was from BridgetonAlex McLeish had more caps than Bob mcphail surely???
Rutherglen maternity maybeYeah that's right.
If they're basing it on where you were born and not where you were from, then %^*& knows where Paul McStay was born
I checked wikipedia and it said HamiltonRutherglen maternity maybe
Barrhead. Willie Miller is from Brigton.I thought he was from Bridgeton
Ross County have a player from Lewis. Scored against us up there when McGregor fucked it in the last minute a couple of seasons ago.Have any of the islanders ever played at top flight level for Shetland/Orkney or the Western Isles?
Aye, that's what i thought..Cumnock.Craig burley should be east Ayrshire
We're too busy playing rugby and shintyHave any of the islanders ever played at top flight level for Shetland/Orkney or the Western Isles?
Shows you how many more international games get played these days. Young was Scotland captain for 11 years and had 54 caps. Rice for England tonight makes his 50th cap in just five years.Great to see a few of the old boys on there in messrs Young, McPhail and Caldow.
A genuinely cracking observationShows you how many more international games get played these days. Young was Scotland captain for 11 years and had 54 caps. Rice for England tonight makes his 50th cap in just five years.
A multitude of reasons mate. More countries, more qualifiers. Friendlies, new 'tournaments' like Nations League.A genuinely cracking observation
Wonder what the reasons behind this are
More countries now and more meaningless friendliesA genuinely cracking observation

50 caps already - impressive.Shows you how many more international games get played these days. Young was Scotland captain for 11 years and had 54 caps. Rice for England tonight makes his 50th cap in just five years.
Young was the first Scot to get 50 caps for Scotland, has captained Scotland more times than any other player although Robertson is about to pass him on that record in the next couple of games. They mentioned it on radio commentary the other night.A genuinely cracking observation

"We have a caller from Greenock..."Young was the first Scot to get 50 caps for Scotland, has captained Scotland more times than any other player although Robertson is about to pass him on that record in the next couple of games. They mentioned it on radio commentary the other night.
Interestingly we refused to release our players for the 58 World Cup in Sweden instead taking them on a tour of North America.
Superscore board would have been interesting listening then.
The wee red book, bought this every year as a young lad. Amazing facts and figures in it. Doubt it's still going though.50 caps already - impressive.
It's always an anomaly seeing players of yesteryear with a handful of caps compared with relative diddies of more recent times with loads.
The Wee Red Book used to be good for anorak studies.
What kind of information did it holdThe wee red book, bought this every year as a young lad. Amazing facts and figures in it. Doubt it's still going though.
And Bomber has none .Roy Aitken has 57 caps.
Let that sink in.
I was thinking more of Bobby Russell.And Bomber has none .
It’s still going strong.The wee red book, bought this every year as a young lad. Amazing facts and figures in it. Doubt it's still going though.
Everything you wanted to know about Scottish football.What kind of information did it hold
Never heard of it
I wonder who would have qualified from the old Eastwood boundary?Doesn’t seem right - and I would have thought Andy Robertson is running McLeish close on caps now as well.
Every newsagent used to sell “the wee red book” I haven’t seen one in at least 15 yearsIt’s still going strong.
I still buy it every season.
80,000 people at Wembley paying £50 a head = £4m might have something to do with it as well. Same the world over - screw as much out of the paying public as you can. How else would you line the ever deepening pockets of rich footballers?A multitude of reasons mate. More countries, more qualifiers. Friendlies, new 'tournaments' like Nations League.
And that's before all the politics.
I thought I read that the last ever one was 2023 and it's now been discontinued. But I may be imagining thatIt’s still going strong.
