My guest is Jeff Webb, author of Scotland’s Lost Clubs: Giving the Names You’ve Heard the Story They Own. Jeff’s book looks at historical clubs from early Scottish football that no longer exist. Why did they fold? What did they achieve when they were around? Where can you find signs of their history?
We hear about the first ‘world champions’, along with the rich Irish role in early Scottish football.
If you’re interested in early football history, in Scotland and elsewhere, get hold of my book Origin Stories: The Pioneers Who Took Football to the World [disclosure: Jeff and I have the same publisher, Pitch Publishing]
