GLORY, TEARS AND SOUVENIRS


RWM 71 not out.

Recommended Posts

Now I know commercial advertising on this site is not allowed but this is different, this is art -well sort of. Anyway over the past three years a number of TAMBERS have been good enough to support our Scotland Epistles fanzine project. You therefor may be interested to know that David Stuart and I have now cobbled together a book [an annual for grown-ups if you like] on the trials and tribulations associated with supporting our national football team. The key features of Scotland:Glory,Tears and Souvenirs are-

[1] A selective history/alternative encyclopedia of Scotland’s national football team through two separate themes with extensive use of mostly colour images from our own varied collections of Scotland football memorabilia-

[a] A [hopefully] humorous reminder of how Scotland, despite producing some great footballers over the decades, have surprisingly yet to win a major title [Kirin Cup notwithstanding] with reviews of all our World Cup and Euro Championship campaigns to date as well as a peek into the future; and

 An offbeat look at associated aspects of Scottish international football from individual players, managers and rival teams to football collectables and personal experiences.

The book is available in most Waterstones bookshops plus online at Amazon and WHSmith with the latter two offering discounts. An ideal Christmas present perhaps and something to cheer us up as we await the draw for the European Nations League. A big thank you if you have already purchased this tome.

Cheers

This book is an absolute gem for any Scotland fan. Well produced in a hardback issue, it has a fantastic range of photos of players and various artefacts surrounding the Scotland team down the years from fanzines to world cup singles. There's even some words to accompany the pictures. If you''ve not bought it yet, stick it on your christmas list so that your family or partners know you want it. You won't regret it
