EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the Scottish Football League XI team group before their highly anticipated clash against the English Football League XI in 1928. The match took place at Villa Park on November 7th, 1928, and was a thrilling encounter that showcased the best talent from both leagues. In this historic image, we see the SFL team standing tall and proud, ready to represent their clubs and country on the football pitch. The back row features esteemed players such as Colin McNab of Dundee, Barney Battles of Hearts, Douglas "Dougie". Gray of Rangers, John Thomson of Celtic, Danny Blair of Clyde, and trainer Robert "Bob". Bennie from Hearts. Leading the front row are Alexander "Sandy". Archibald from Rangers, Alexander "Alec". Thomson from Celtic, James "Jimmy". McGrory also from Celtic (who would later become one of Scotland's greatest goal scorers), James McStay from Celtic (part of a famous footballing family), James Barbour "Mutt". McAlpine representing Queens Park (a club with a rich history), and Alan Morton from Rangers. This photograph is not only a testament to the skill and dedication these players possessed but also serves as a cherished memento for fans who appreciate the legacy left behind by these legendary figures.
