A picture-led record of a man who was the architect of one of the greatest achievements in Scottish football history. At this point, I was actually turning the book 90 degrees to try to work out where things stood then and do now, among numerous images of terraces and stands long gone. Former Scotland Manager Craig Brown ( Volume 2 ) and former Scotland international, Leanne Crichton ( Volume 3 ) provide forewords football fans will love as they start their nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Our headquarters are in Dundee but we also have offices in Glasgow, Aberdeen and London – in the world-famous Fleet Street. Three years in the making, Steve has brought together a fabulous selection of archive images, some never-before-seen or have lain unseen for decades in the archive. The accompanying text explained something I was unaware of, in that their ground, Shielfield Park, is named after William Shiel Dods, a local butcher who gave the club the land to build on.The aim is to celebrate the experiences of standing in a swaying, tight-packed, excited/angry/celebrating/commiserating/local-derby-fevered football crowd. Well recommended even if you aren't one for Scottish football: they are well worth it for the photography and nostalgia alone! There will be countless photographs of Ewood Park covering the black and white era you’re looking for.

As the veteran journalist Chick Young says in the foreword, these are photos of the “good old, bad old days”. While the majority of images focus on packed or barren terraces and small stands representing an oasis of shelter on the halfway line, some are a commemoration of unique events, such as the Third Lanark player using a pneumatic drill to break up the ice on a frozen pitch. Steve also looks at grounds that no longer exist as football venues, such as Third Lanark’s Cathkin Park, Clyde’s Shawfield Park, and Falkirk’s Brockville! There are almost 200 photos of 42 football stadiums here that have lain unseen, in archives and rarely accessed collections, for decades. Some subtler changes are displayed, such as the difference in police helmets between Scotland and England in the chapter relating to Berwick Rangers.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. The photos record fans celebrating the old times, the Fergie era, the cup finals, the silverware kisses, the greatest migration of football fans Scotland has ever seen and, of course, the glory that was Gothenburg. Hallewell Publications is a small publishing house based in Argyll which concentrates largely on a single project: a popular series of walking guides which covers Scotland and selected areas of England.

Loved every word and loved every picture as this was a real trip down memory lane of some great wins and some bad defeats on cold Saturday afternoons or Wednesday nights.

A unique record of Aberdeen supporters' experience reflected in hundreds of previously unseen photos. I think there is a book out there still to be written about football teams and their Grounds in the 1960s, 70s, and perhaps 80s before big money and T.Tell us why you liked or disliked the book; using examples and comparisons is a great way to do this. Ideally, I’d like pix of the ground’s terraces and stands empty, or on-pitch action with a good, illustrative view of terraces in the background. Also contains anecdotes and quirks gathered from fans, club historians and newspaper articles of decades past. On first seeing this book, I worried that it might be another homage to the “golden age” of Scottish football, where everything, invariably, was so much better than it is now. We really enjoyed the book and liked reminiscing about grounds we’ve been to and how they’ve changed over time.

However the edition that arrived was not the same as pictured therefore unsuitable for our collection.
