Obscure Scottish Football Question
Some blethering cunt in the pub asked the question, “Which team was the first local fully professional football club?” The answer, according to him was ‘Bonnybridge Grasshoppers’, which I’m sure, cannot be correct. Bonnybridge Grasshoppers might be the first football club established locally, although Bonnybridge Star were formed the same year (1875).
This is border line educational! I see snake's been back here, he might manage some answers.
Here's a list of 22 clubs who were Junior or Senior in Scotland, but are now defunct.
In which town or city were each based? If you get three right, you're doing well!
1st Argyll Rifle Volunteers
Find Out
Zebras
Dock Labourers
Lancelot
Olympic
Pullars Rangers
Academy Coursers
Gaelic
Aesthetics
Heavy Weather
Albatross
Playfair
Amphion Amateurs
Hand of Friendship
AN Other
Hydro Dynamo
Ark of Safety
Zingaro
English High School
Fiery Cross
Goblet Moulders

Pullars bossed Tayside until a terrible unravelling incident one night on the A9.

Dock Labourers were a bunch of tarts.
They sold out to the first ship that came into port.
Pauldg1 will know the rest of this one.

Jimmy, if that is meant to say Dunoon, then you're drawing with snake.
But if it's indicating that you 'don't know', then I'm not telling you the right answer.

Re: Obscure Scottish Football Question
Crieff Hydro Dynamo? There's a Peebles Hydro, and a Dunblane Hydro too!
But this 'Hydro Dynamo' were named after the energy utility company. Utility might be a clue. Hydro Dynamo played as a Junior side in the seventies.
