Bring Me the Sports Jacket of Arthur Montford: An Adventure Through Scottish Football
Aidan Smith
The submariner arm of Ally’s Tartan Army. When Dixie Deans met Bob Marley. Jimmy Johnstone’s boating trip. Alex Miller, ice cream vendor. Willie Carr’s amazing, death-defying donkey-kick. What happened to Bon Accord after the world-record 36-0. The Famous Five from Easter Road who won Brazil the World Cup. Jim Leishman’s poetry. And of course, Arthur Montford, resplendent in his sports jacket - the face of STV’s Scotsport for 32 years.
In Bring Me the Sport Jacket of Arthur Montford, Aidan Smith takes a nostalgic, hilarious and heart-warming look back through the history of Scottish football in 51 glorious - and inglorious -moments, celebrating all that is wonderful, quirky and often downright odd about Scotland’s national game. It contains memories to make you wince, shudder and laugh out loud - 51 vignettes that encapsulate everything we love about football north of the border (and just over it, thanks to our dear English neighbours, Berwick Rangers).
