Just want to let any bookworms on the forum aware that my associate Colin G.Pike has finally finished his book on Duns FC`s last season of league football and if you want to purchase a copy which includes our 1954 Scottish Cup game down here in the Borders then contact the man himself at the below address.  Seeing as I couldn`t copy the front cover to this post I`ve just included the text.

A book detailing the last season of league football in the

town plus their incredible record in the Scottish Cup playing

against some of the biggest clubs in the country.

 

Has Duns got the highest number of authors per head of population in the UK?

I remember that game, it was a belter.

It really was!

 

Buckleys hat-trick really rounded off a great afternoon for all 700 of us who made the trip down to Duns.

 

I was really gutted though, I had Wishart on as first scorer! Just typical, eh?

"Spare a thought for plucky Duns FC as they crash 15-3 to Aberdeen Athletic Academicals"

I must have missed that game.

 

I was at our 8-0 win in early February 1954. What a cup run that was, beating the Huns 6-0 in the semi-final infront of 110,939 fans down at that neutral venue was the highlight for me. A close second was the 3-0 home win against the Jambos infront of our record 45,061 crowd.

 

I'm still a little gutted that we lost the final 2-1 to Celtic though infront of that 130,000 crowd at Hampden.

Harsh.

How are things looking on the Eastern Front? Have we taken Moscow yet?
