A History of Scottish Football in 100 Objects: The Alternative Football Museum

In A History of Scottish Football in 100 Objects, Andy Bollen creates an fantasy football museum to collect together a treasure trove of Scottish football exhibits that range from Jimmy Johnstone’s oar, to Aggie the tea lady’s trolley. Learn why Puskas and Socrates should’ve been Scottish, the versatility of the pie and Napoleon’s links to Bovril and explore all the wonders of the game north of the Border - from Arthur Montford to the phone-in, Think Tanks, Buckfast, vanishing cream for referees, Twitter, VAR technology and flares (pyrotechnics, not 1970s attire). These exhibits distil the beauty of the Scottish game, standing as testament to the collective hypocrisy and foolishness which links these people, places and items to the nation’s favourite drug: football.
