Football Legends
Our sports titles are some of the most popular in The Archive and we are delighted to bring our readers more issues of The Scottish Referee – A Record and Review of Outdoor Recreation. As the tag line suggests this Glaswegian newspaper reported on a variety of variety of sports from around the country. By the mid-1890s the paper increased its publication from once to twice weekly.
In 1899 the paper ran a series called Prominent Scottish Footballers which featured sketches of well-known footballers.

As the birth country of golf the Scottish Referee follows the popularisation of the sport with great interest. In January 1893 the paper reported on the fashionable craze for this long established game during 1892.
