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

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
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...
