Description
The summer of 1967 was a moment of triumph for Scottish football. Celtic won the European Cup, Rangers reached the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup, and Scotland defeated England at Wembley. Yet, amidst this success, a lesser-known tragedy occurred. Third Lanark Athletic Club, a founding member of the Scottish Football Association and a team with a rich history, played its final game. This event, marked by a lack of attention at the time, remains a dark chapter in Scottish football's history. Michael McEwan's book delves into the story of Third Lanark's demise, using rich archival research and interviews with key figures from the era. The author sheds light on a period that has been largely overlooked, revealing the circumstances surrounding the club's final match. By examining this pivotal moment, McEwan provides a nuanced understanding of Scottish football's past. Through his research, McEwan brings to life the experiences of the players, opponents, and other figures involved in Third Lanark's final season. This book offers a unique perspective on a significant event in Scottish football's history, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the subject.
