    Is that story about a "brazilian football encyclopedia" being printed and containing an entire chapter dedicated towards the Famous Five true?

    Can't seem to find any reliable sources on it

    Don’t know if this is trivia but, I’m a peg-seller (currently in China with the 1st Minister doing a bit of diplomatic pressing of the flesh hoping to develop business contacts in this very democratic nation😊) and, according to a lot of Hertz fans, many Hibbies are also in the peg business. It’s not a huge industry so I’m extremely surprised that, despite being told there are literally 1000s of us, I have not met a single Hibby at any Peg conferences (local, national or international). Even the publication, Peg-Sellers Monthly (which I edit) has no Hibby input! That is amazing is it not?😁

    Put some noisy bunch from Gorgie to the sword after making up a two goal deficit with 10 minutes to go on their tattie field.

    A money spinning tie I am told.

    Scottish club who brushed Naples and Dino Zoff aside by beating them 5-0 at home to win 6-4 on aggregate and progress in the Fairs Cup.

    Oh and I was there so I know the answer.

    I thought the first team with floodlights was stenhousmuir? I think the first game they played with them was against us though.

    We’ve defeated both Barcelona and Real Madrid. We were the first ever British team to defeat the latter.
