Lucky you never played in a proper winter and wearing a mitre mouldmaster on your inner thigh. You could see the writing in red on your leg for half a day.

The four Scot’s are ET, Kenny Murphy, Joe Watson and Alec Robertson, all played or managed the Australian national team. Wee Joe also has his Rangers Jacket on. Jeff Olver is one of the dinky di’s.

All of them were doing their coaching badges. Eddie was their as a consultant.

Hey Sutho and any other British posters, the article mentions Aussie football being familiar to Brits back then because it appeared in the Summer soccer pools coupon.. Is that true? Did anyone know anything about our clubs?

Yep, Aussie games certainly were in the British Pools back then, even before the National League started. I recall seeing the first division games from NSW, Vic, Qld, SA and possibly WA on there. The pools were also available in Australia.
