I was recently reading a book by Jonathan Wilson in which he mentioned that although the game its self was probably started in England, the game as we know it today was invented up here i.e the invention of the passing game as opposed to the primitive game the English were playing.
Having read a wee bit further there does seem to be some debate as to the exact origins and seems to be a school of thought that the game started up here, anyone got anything that could shed any further light?
In addition, I read a book about Seville and Real Betis recently and the number of Scottish folk that started and were involved in setting up a number of Spanish clubs is phenomenal, why don't we make more of that? Or do we and have I missed it?
