Scottish Football 2013-14
Fairly straightforward explanation actually. During the war he was posted in Scotland and played for Falkirk, the closest club to his base. He was a real star for them and made a huge impression.
After the war the club was keen to bring him back and he was happy to come as he had enjoyed his time in the area. The fee of course was hugely expensive but they raised the fee via fan subscription.
There were all manner of unusual wartime appearances. My late Grandad played in a friendly game for Hamilton Accies with Stanley Mathews guesting as one of his teammates.
