Also recognised in the list was Dr Frank Dunn, current President of the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians in Glasgow and a leading member of the Scottish Catholic community, who has been awarded a CBE for services to cardiology. Professor Devine was recognised—as he prepares to retire from academia— with a special event featuring Gordon Brown in Edinburgh on Monday night. The leading Catholic academic told the SCO that he felt that the award was a recognition of ‘the huge transformation in the quality’ of Scottish history in the past 25 years rather than a personal accolade. At the event on Monday, former Prime Minister Gordon Brown praised Professor Devine, describing him as ‘a great teacher, great scholar and great Scot’ and also read tributes to him from Prime Minister David Cameron and First Minister Alex Salmond. Professor Devine’s colleague and peer, Owen Dudley Edwards, the Irish historian, said that the award was in recognition of ‘a wonderful historian who has done wonderful work both with primary sources and bringing the history Handle independence vote with care to the widest possible reading public.’ “He has transformed our under- standing of the highlands, the low- lands, the towns, the Irish and Scotland I Reaction to Holy Father’s opinion on the subject ahead of September’s referendum and the Scots across the world,” he By Ian Dunn Pope Francis entered the debate on Scottish independence said. “He has made a particular fine tish Church as a useful guide for Scottish Catholics. recently saying that the issue must be ‘handled with care’ contribution to Scottish Catholic his- Peter Kearney, the director of the Scottish Catholic tory itself and the award salutes his POPE Francis has entered the debate over Scot- Media Office said of the remarks that ‘although achievement as the foremost Scottish tish independence by saying that it must be addressing the situation in Catalunya, the Pope’s com- us will make in our lives,” he said. “We are also con- Catholic historian of our times.

    Soccer History Issue 18 THE FRENCH MENACE; THE MIGRATION OF BRITISH PLAYERS TO FRANCE IN THE 1930S In the spring of 1932 the pages of the national and sporting press in England informed readers that domestic football was under threat from the ‘French Menace’. This comprised a well-publicised, but rather futile, attempt to attract two of Chelsea’s star players, Tommy Law and Hugh Gallacher, to play in the newly formed French professional league, effectively tearing up their English contracts in return for a reportedly large sum of money. The French Menace followed the ‘American Menace’ and the ‘Irish Menace’, occasions when British players had been induced to break their contracts and migrate to play in the American Soccer and Irish Free State Leagues. The potential migration of players was a menace because in each case, initially at least, there was a threat to the fundamental structures that enabled clubs to control their players: the retain-and-transfer system and (in England) the maximum wage. The British associations were passing through an isolationist phase and had left FIFA, hence agreements on player transfers only held on transactions between the Home Countries. A player moving to a club in another association could do so, in theory, without hindrance and without the payment of a transfer fee. In practice, as each ‘menace’ arose the FA was forced to reach agreements with local bodies to ensure that players could be held to their contract. Football in France was nominally amateur prior to 1932, but this concealed the advent of a form of professionalism that had gathered pace in the years after the First World War.

During Scottish football’s formative years, however, the ascendancy of the Old Firm was far from set in stone. The exhaustive study of these two extraordinary organisations, therefore, greatly distorts our understanding of Scottish football’s Victorian origins. Both clubs were part of a far greater scene which included not only fellow ‘senior’, well-established clubs, but also any number of ‘junior’, ‘juvenile’ and non-classified football clubs, as well as fledgling associations which oversaw the regulation of the young game.

Copyright : 2002, Frank Cass Scottish Football Association The Scottish Football Association was founded in March 1873 a few months after the first official international match between Scotland and England on the initiative of the Queen’s Park club and Charles Alcock, Secretary of the Football Association. It is the second oldest football governing body after the FA. Disputes over rules led to a series of meetings with the FA out of which came the International Board in 1887 which was responsible for the Laws of the Game until the emergence of FIFA. Initially the SFA organised the international matches which provided its main source of income and the Scottish FA Cup. Queen’s Park dominated the domestic cup competition, while Scotland lost only four of its first twenty official internationals against England. The SFA’s proselytisation role in Wales and Ireland led to the setting up of similar associations in these countries. By 1883 there were 11 provincial associations and 133 member clubs including one from Newfoundland. Scottish clubs were initially members of the FA as well and took part in the FA Cup, seven teams playing in 1887. Though Scots professional players were keenly sought in England, the SFA attempted to stamp out professionalism, T Lawrie, of Queen’s Park, President of the SFA at Annual International Conference held in Glasgow in 1884, moved ‘that all Associations should unite to stamp out professionalism and that all National Associations should recognize penalties inflicted on them.’ By November 1884 moves to legalise professionalism were under way in England but this was not accepted in Scotland until 1893.
