This is the first collection of Scots poetry devoted entirely to football. It includes many of 20th century Scotland's best known poets such as Hugh MacDiarmid, Norman MacCaig, Iain Crichton Smith and Jackie Kay. Spanning centuries and a wide variety of perspectives on the popular sport, this brilliant collection sums up the best and the worst of football spirit.
Perhaps verse is the ideal field for football’s dreams to be realised. It certainly works wonders on the pages of this effort collected up by Alistair Findlay THE LIST
In other countries, football is taken seriously enough, but only in Scotland is the game woven into the warp and weft of cultural life so seamlessly. That becomes clear when you read Findlay’s latest work, 100 Favourite Scottish Football Poems, an edited odyssey through the nation’s cultural history, seen through the prisms of poetry and football.
