This book gives a fascinating story about Broxburn’s senior football teams. It’s hard to imagine the scenes of thousands of local football supporters streaming to the various football grounds in Broxburn to see their heroes in action on Scottish Cup day. If playing away from home special trains would be laid on where 600 to a 1000 supporters was not an unusual sight as they made there way up to the towns Drumshoreland Station.
       

Broxburn clubs proved tough opposition to the likes of Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian, Dundee, Motherwell to name but a few, in their quest for Scottish Cup glory. It’s hard to imagine a Broxburn side reaching the semi final stages at Hampden Park, only to lose to the eventual winners.
 

League matches also brought a great deal of excitement with teams such as Dundee United, Dunfermline Athletic and St Johnstone all visiting Broxburn in search of league points.

For the statistically minded, every league and Scottish cup-tie is recorded as well local competitions.

 Also covered in this book are senior teams from Uphall and Winchburgh, not forgetting of course details of junior football.
