Falkirk FC - Forgotten Players - John Morrison

Just thought I'd do a random post, this time about another forgotten player, again I would say an exceptional player. Jock 'Slasher' Morrison [what a nickname!] is as far as I know the only player who played for Falkirk in every one of the positions in the old 2-3-5 formation [okay he only played in

Old Falkirk FC Photograph?

I was recently sent this photograph via a relative of an old Falkirk FC goalkeeper [Alex Thomson] to see if I could shed any light on it, but I'm afraid I failed.I am of the opinion that it might be Falkirk as the second on the left looks very much like the old Falkirk FC inside-left Alex Burt, but

Falkirk FC - Formation

I once wrote a little piece for the Soccer History Quarterly magazine about the formation of my beloved Falkirk FC. It was mainly a refutation of the oft cited date of 1876 for the formation of Falkirk Football Club and my arguments as to why I think the club was actually formed in 1877. I'm not goi

Stirlingshire Cup - 1883/84

As I have said before I sometimes stray outside of the history of Falkirk FC to go into local football, I think this, though, might cover both [since it was Falkirk's first honour]. The Stirlingshire Cup, though often derided today, was only the second competition the teams of Falkirk & district had

Falkirk FC - Scarlet & White Stripes

On Saturday the 21st of January 1888, Falkirk FC did something that, for many, seems not only ridiculous, but impossible. In a friendly match [there was no League] against local minnows [sorry..] Laurieston at Zetland Pk, Laurieston, the team took the field in their new tops of 'Scarlet & white stri

As anybody who reads this ought know by now, I delight in bringing to light all those things that [probably] should never be brought to light: herein, I bring you another in my [neverending [I warn you!]] list of obscure Falkirk FC matches. These matches ought naturally have been consigned to the du

Falkirk FC v English Opposition

For many reasons some I can't explain, others I can, Falkirk Football Club never a non-Scottish team for a relatively long time. Throughout the 1880s football between Scottish, English & Irish clubs was very regular, although little of it was "competitive" [I use the quotation marks advisedly, becau
