FOREWORD

Although I never had the pleasure of playing in the Scottish leagues, I was honoured by my country on 29 occasions and played in the 1982 World Cup Finals. Therefore, I was delighted to be asked to write the foreword to The Scottish Football Quiz Book. Most people love a quiz, and footballers are no exception. I know that my old Ipswich and Scotland team mate George Burley in his capacity as Scotland Coach will love this book. We could certainly have used it to good effect in all those long motorway coach journeys with Ipswich! Graeme has packed a multitude of fascinating facts and figures into his book, and the questions will provide a keen test of the reader’s knowledge. So, whether you support Aberdeen or Annan Athletic, or are simply a member of the Tartan Army, I can thoroughly recommend The Scottish Football Quiz Book to all followers of

Scottish Football.

I hope you enjoy the book, I certainly did!

FOREWORD

Having played for and coached the Scotland international side, and played for and managed some of Scottish Football’s finest clubs, I was delighted to be asked to write the foreword

to The Scottish Football Quiz Book. This is a book that every student of Scottish football will enjoy immensely. With 1,000 questions on a huge range of subjects, there is something here for everyone, and I can guarantee that you will be entertained and fascinated by the wealth of facts and figures to be found in Graeme’s challenging book. And it’s not just fans of the big clubs who are catered for – there are questions on every senior club in Scotland, as well as the National side, and many of the great characters who have graced the football world. Reading through the book reminded me of many of great players Scotland has produced – even the ones that kicked me! Perhaps I can educate my Birmingham Sassenachs on the team bus! Enjoy the book, I certainly did!

INTRODUCTION ByGraemeRoss

Scottish football has experienced many highs and lows over the decades and in the current economical climate the Scottish game faces an uncertain future. Whatever happens in the future however, nothing can detract from our glorious past as a football nation. Hopefully this Scottish Football Quiz Book will remind the readers of some of the great achievements by our teams and wonderful footballers and managers. As a nation we have given so much to the football world, and long may it continue. I would like to thank John Wark and Alex McLeish for writing the forewords to the book and everyone who provided a few lines in support of the book. Thanks are also due to John Riddle for suggesting the idea in the first place and introducing me to Chris Cowlin and Apex Publishing Ltd. Thanks to Chris for all his help and support. Finally as always, a special word of thanks to my wife Ann and my family for all their patience and understanding.

Best wishes GraemeRoss
