EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the Scottish Football League XI team before their match against the Welsh League in 1952. The historic game took place at Ninian Park, Cardiff on September 24th, 1952 as part of the Football Jubilee Inter-League Match. Unfortunately for the Scottish team, they were defeated by a scoreline of 3-0. In this remarkable group shot, we see the players and officials lined up with pride and determination. Standing tall at the back are the linesman and Wilson Humphries from Motherwell FC, followed by John Paterson from Hibernian FC, Ian McColl, Fred Martin from Aberdeen FC, Alec Bowden representing Celtic FC, Davie Laing from Hearts FC, and Benjamin Mervyn Sandy Griffiths who officiated as referee for both the prestigious 1953 FA Cup Final and the momentous 1954 World Cup semi-final. The front row showcases some notable names in Scottish football history. Jackie Stewart represents East Fife while Lawrie Reilly stands alongside Sammy Cox from Glasgow Rangers. Willie Sharp proudly wears his Partick Thistle jersey while Willie Ormond completes this formidable lineup representing Hibernian FC. Preserved through time by Colorsport Images, this photograph serves as a testament to Scotland's rich football heritage and commemorates an important chapter in inter-league matches during that era.
