THE hierarchy, or whoever, in the ivory towers of Hampden Park have decided that Glenbuck will not be entering the Scottish Football Hall of Fame.

However, the Chronicle will continue to pay homage to the footballers as well as former residents of the small mining community.

We start with a straightforward list of the 54 players who played professional football throughout the UK.

Among them is a Liverpool FC legend, five brothers who played in the same team and one of the first Scots to win an FA cup medal in England.

Glenbuck deserves a place in Scottish football history and hopefully the Pilgrims will rally and try again next year.

Meanwhile....

SANDY BROWN

In the first of our look at individual players, we look at the career and life of Sandy ‘Towey’ Brown who played for Spurs, winning the FA Cup with them in 1901, the first time the London club had lifted the famous trophy.

He emigrated to New Zealand when his career ended to join his siblings who were already there.

He had no family of his own but has a niece, still living in New Zealand, who is in her 90s.
