Derek Spalding capped for the USA and I recall one raker v Celtic on a windy Wednesday night.
Don’t know what made him eligible.....

Gerry Baker was a superb striker for Hibs and To this day I think in the very early sixties, him scoring them at one end, and Ronnie Simpson stopping them at the other, saved us from relegation.
Most would know Joe Baker scored 9 goals for us in a Scottish Cup tie, but may not be aware his brother scored 10 in a cup tie for St Mirren.
Gerry’s daughter was an athlete (hurdler?) who represented England and eventually settled in Adelaide.
His grandson ...whose surname is Strain, actually plays right back in the A League for Adelaide United, so the Baker genes live on....
