Happy St Andrew's Day to everyone.
Today @PollokFan and I are delighted to announce the publication of our new book.
This is the anniversary of the 1st international match in 1872, and the 1st player featured in the book is Joe Taylor, Scotland full back in that game.

Not going to get carried away with that draw, but I look forward to recreating this photo in July 2026.

In truth, twenty or more Scottish parks could have been chosen for the book such is the wealth of it's characterful football homes. In the end, seven made it including @pollokfc, @BrechinCityFC and @Morton_FC, all special places whose people helped no end in the research for the book.

@ArthurlieFC Shocked to read this. Thoughts are with the Convery family, and his friends at Dunterlie and beyond.

@TH_GraveSociety @historyofTHFC I believe he is at rest in the same cemetery as Joseph Cullen - I have sent you a DM with further details.

[Martin Donnelly @PollokFan]

Alan has been discharged from hospital today to continue his recovery at home.

Alan, Janet, Adam, Lucy and family would like to thank everybody for their wonderful messages of love and support. It has been overwhelming and has helped enormously ❤️

@Detroit67Book @StJohnstone Thanks, Stuart. I believe that Sandy is buried in Wellshill Cemetery - I haven't had a chance yet to head over that way to find out if he has a headstone or not.

Headed through to Fife earlier in the week to pay my respects to Scotland's first ever goalscorer against Germany. Bill Imrie headed home a late equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw in Berlin in 1929.

@mpbthursday @gedboy58 Stopped at John Thomson's grave in Cardenden on the way. The route to Methil was through Cluny rather than Kinglassie though.

[Martin Donnelly @PollokFan]

@mpbthursday @gedboy58 Bill is buried in Methilmill Cemetery.
