A History of Scottish Football in 100 Objects: The Mayhem, Mavericks and Magic of the Beautiful Game by Andy Bollen

Andy Bollen has created a treasure trove of Scottish football exhibits that ranges from Jimmy Johnstone's oar to Aggie the tea lady's trolley. Learn why Puskas and Socrates should have been Scottish, the versatility of the pie and Napoleon's links to Bovril and explore all the wonders of the game north of the Border - from Arthur Montford to the phone-in, Think Tanks, Buckfast, vanishing cream for referees, Twitter, VAR technology and flares (pyrotechnics, not 1970s attire).

Filled with snappy and humorous chapters, take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, succinct versions of famous stories and a great many more entertaining stories covering everything you need to know about Scottish football, and its players, its critics, the fans and the followers.
