This is the first collection of Scots poetry devoted entirely to
football. It includes many of 20th century Scotland's best known
poets, from Hugh MacDiarmid to Norman MacCaig, Iain Crichton Smith
to Jackie Kay. Ranging from the historic aspect, in the 1580 poem,
The Bewteis of the Fute-ball, or Stewart Conn's The Barber-Surgeons
to King James IV, to the gleeful thrilling violence of a good
kicking, as in Song of the Sub-Welshian, to the unending
frustration of supporting Scotland, this brilliant collection sums
up the best and the worst of football spirit.
