About this Event
Did football originate in Scotland? Does Argentina owe it all to the Gorbals? Was the first floodlight a searchlight? Did Scotland really ban women? Follow the Spiders, count the Hampden Parks, hear about Scotland’s part in the explosion of world football. With poetry from terracing, goalmouths, David Marshall’s left hand and the road to the Euros, hear from the women who defied the ban and the humble bowling club that holds the secrets of the Scotch Professors. Stuff that hasn’t made the history books... till now. We’re taking the baw back hame.
