Play up Victoria: A History of Saltcoats Victoria FC – Volume I (Paperback)

Description

Play up Victoria tells the story of football in Saltcoats, from its earliest years to the end of the Second World War.

It follows the game's transition from rough-and-tumble kickabouts to the adoption of Association Laws by the town's young 'gentlemen', and the birth of Saltcoats Victoria. Along the way it shows just how much football mattered to the townsfolk, and how the game navigated its own internal politics as well as the wider politics of the age.

Above all, it documents the people and places that saw the Vics become giants of Scottish Junior football.

By Mark Alexander Pettigrew. Paperback, 290 pages, 6 × 9 in.
