Look at that front row. You might have expected Woodburn or Mccoll, both titans, to be seated next to Geordie Young but it’s a youthful Eric Caldow. Mr Struth could obviously foretell the future.

 

Look at the second row. Pass quickly over Stanners and disregard Woodburn and McColl - we won’t see their like again - but Rae, Little and Prentice would transform the current team.

My father once said he’d have strapped Stanners to the front of a 25 pounder .

National Service in the Black Watch. The lad with the kilt looks soldierly enough but unlike his right half, he only had to fight paper clips and typewriter ribbons.

Back in 1962 Everton were prepared to pay a fee of £100,000 for the services of wee Davie

Davie declined the offer. Eric Caldow said no to Manchester United.

This XI put on the best Scotland performance I ever saw at Hampden against England in 1962, an easy 2-0 victory.

Alex Scott roasted his opponent but that wasn’t enough to get him into Rangers’ cup final team the following week. A young lad Willie Henderson was picked instead.

 

The photo was taken at Love Street during training. I copied it from the outstandingly excellent website, Scottish Epistles Football Magazine. Brilliant photos. Highly recommended.
