There is a resemblance between our former manager and the new Pope.

Colin Stein for Scotland v England at Wembley in May 1973. Derek Johnstone is the other Scotland player. Bobby Moore and Martin Peters are the England players. Allan Clarke the other England player?

What a brilliant image Boyne 👍I take it Fort William must be that big blue image at the top ?

It's blurry when I enlarge it, where did you get the original from mate ?

Hi mate, thank you. Fort William is the big yellow image at the top. I saw the image in one of the football groups on Facebook but can't remember which one. Will have a hunt around to see if I can find it. Would be great if there is a less blurry image or it is split into different parts of the U.K. The person who designed it has done a tremendous job.

Thurso F.C. At the very far north of Scotland. As far north as you can go basically!!😀

The club's home ground, Sir George's Park

Action from a Caithness Amateur League match.

The Caithness Amateur Football Association is composed of 15 clubs in two divisions.

All league games are played during the summer. This is due to the harsh winters in Caithness.

Helicopter Sunday in 2005. Some very sad people in Fir Park. At the same time loads of happy people at Easter Road. Still gives Chris Sutton nightmares.

Indeed. So much hope and then played off the park by Peru; poor against Iran and then a superb performance against The Netherlands. But too late. I didn't watch the game against the Dutch as feared the worst. Couldn't believe the result.
