Volume 35 of the Forth Naturalist and Historian is now out and it includes a paper by Nigel Bishop on King's Park Football Club.
Nigel gave a fascinating talk to Stirling Local HIstory Society on this topic on 29 March 2012. The club was a significant local institution from the 1870s until its stand was destroyed by an German bomb in 1940. Researching the history of local football clubs so often depends of collecting material from scattered newspaper reports - a time-consuming task. But football and other sports have been an important aspect of many people's lives and of local identities, too.
So, Nigel and colleagues are to be congratulated on gathering and publishing material which would otherwise remain scattered.
If you have further information about the club, memorabilia or stories, do not hesitate to get in touch.
