Scotland: Club; Country & Collectables by David Stuart

Scotland: Club; Country & Collectables by David Stuart

Scotland: Club, Country, Collectables continues the authors' offbeat look at the issues and idiosyncrasies associated with Scottish international football. It's a celebration of the good, the bad and the mementoes treasured by fans irrespective of results. There's a flavour of the contributions made by our clubs - the players who became legends, those who tried hard, and others who merely tried our patience. A sideways look at Scottish football culture includes opposition teams and past tournaments, statistical overviews and memories full of typical Scottish weltschmerz and schadenfreude. The Road to Euro 2020 is covered, with clues offered as to whether Scotland can qualify for our first 'finals' in over 20 years - or will we achieve the rare distinction of being a host that fails to make it to our own party? While some Scotland supporters may only have tears for souvenirs, Club, Country, Collectables has everything from match programmes and trading cards to badges and beer labels, postcards, postage stamps and replica jerseys.

Robert Marshall is editor of the Scotland international football magazine, Scotland Epistles. Robert has written for football fanzines since 1989, and is a contributor to Programme Monthly. David Stuart is the co-founder of Scotland Epistles. His football writing lay dormant for almost 20 years following the demise of Partick Thistle fanzine, Sick in the Basin - now mercifully revived!
