‘High Ball to the Wee Man’ has garnered some lovely reviews: ‘irresistible’ according to the Daily Mail, ‘inimitable’ according to the Sunday Times’ I’ll add ‘PERFECT STOCKING FILLER’ signed and dedicated on demand if you buy via eBay ebay.us/m/jxDqgd

‘Buy this book - for yourself, for your family, for your pals… and when you sit down to watch Scotland walk out again on the world stage … have it right beside you. You’ll be needing it to write your own chapter…’ Thank you @bellacaledonia.bsky.social

A great evening reading at the St Andrew’s Book Festival with these legends. Both Pat and Dougie seem to be amused…

Well my Thursday night crew (ie my boarding pupils) have done it again. A film to promote HIGH BALL TO THE WEE MAN. Scotland’s World Cup adventures in poems. Inimitable/ irresistible/ a gem of a book according to the scribes. A perfect Xmas gift. @tasa1999.bsky.social @nutmegmagazine.bsky.social

@valmcdermid.bsky.social very exciting to bump into you at the @standrewsbookfest.bsky.social - as you can see you weren’t the only one to have HIGH BALL TO THE WEE MAN thrust upon ‘em… Hope you enjoyed

Scotland at the FIFA World Cup finals has given us memories, joy & disappointment. High Ball for the Wee Man by Stephen Walsh looks at the Scots at the finals 74-98 thru poetry, humour & his life. A great book given a great review on @bellacaledonia.bsky.social bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/06/05/g...

This is a wee gem of a book: High Ball to the Wee Man by Stephen Walsh. Poetry, ruminations & biography abt Scotland's epic trips to the FIFA World Cups of 1974-1998. So many memories and love the footnotes which are as good as the poetry. HT @walshythebolshy.bsky.social @gallovidiabooks.bsky.social

This is a great wee book for your football and/or poetry loving relative. And no, not a contradiction. You can be both
