Lifted Over The Turnstiles: Scotland's Football Grounds In The Black & White Era: 1

Product Information

Three years in the making, Steve has brought together a fabulous selection of archive images, some never-before-seen or have lain unseen for decades in the archive.

These are the places where your Grandfather, Father, Uncles, Brothers and friends exulted and cursed. The vast majority of players featured would be Scottish born and, hard though it may be to conceive, most of the grounds may actually have been built with Scottish-produced steel – changes in football only mirror changes in society. As the veteran journalist Chick Young says in the foreword, these are photos of the “good old, bad old days”.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. We really enjoyed the book and liked reminiscing about grounds we’ve been to and how they’ve changed over time. However the edition that arrived was not the same as pictured therefore unsuitable for our collection. This well-produced illustrated book is a second volume containing hundreds of classic archive photographs of Scottish football stadia, many of which have lain unseen in archives and rarely-accessed collections for decades.

Read more about the condition New: A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages. A collection of hundreds of previously unseen photos of classic Scotland international football games.The accompanying text explained something I was unaware of, in that their ground, Shielfield Park, is named after William Shiel Dods, a local butcher who gave the club the land to build on. This book on Scottish football grounds is just about ok in that it has old photos of grounds but little or no background to each Club or their Support at the time of the photo.
