Football and Mining

Richard McBrearty, Curator of the Scottish Football Museum will deliver a talk at the Scottish Mining Museum on Friday 3rd February. The presentation will explore the links between football and mining in Scotland. Many football legends like Jock Stein, Sir Matt Busby, Bill Shankly, Jock 'Tiger' Shaw and John Thomson came from mining communities and many of them experienced life down the pit before embarking on football careers.
