Publisher's Synopsis

From the co-founder of the SFSA and SFSA resident writer comes a dive into what it is about Scottish football than truly captures us. With contributions from the likes of Henry McLeish, Gordon Duncan, Hugh Carter, Tommy McAllister, Tom Miller, Ben Patterson, Colin Campbell, Alan Thompson - and many, many more - this book takes you from club to club, exploring what it is they love about their local teams and football itself.

From Rangers to Falkirk to Dundee United, there is something for every fan of football here. This labour of love will look through not only the history of each of these teams, but the personal story each person has with them. Profits from Truly the People's Game: Why We Love Scottish Football will be going to support Fans for Foodbanks and the SFSA's work with Play Soccer Malawi.

Scottish football is always a hot topic for fans and those associated. It will also make an ideal gift for any fan this Christmas. Covering a large variety of clubs, any fan can pick up this book and find something of their interest.

About the Publisher

Luath Press

Luath Press takes its name from Robert Burns, whose little collie Luath (Gael., swift or nimble) tripped up Jean Armour at a wedding and gave him the chance to speak to the woman who was to be his wife and the abiding love of his life. Burns called one of The Twa Dogs Luath after Cuchullin's hunting dog in Ossian's Fingal . Luath Press was established in 1981 in the heart of Burns country, and is now based a few steps up the road from Burns' first lodgings on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Luath offers you distinctive writing with a hint of unexpected pleasures.
