Scottish Football Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottish Football Museum is the Scottish Football Association's National Museum of Football, located in Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland.
[edit] The Museum
The museum houses over 2000 objects of football memorabilia, including the world's oldest cap and match ticket, from the first international match of 1872; and the world's oldest national trophy, the Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup, which was made in 1873.
Visitors can also see The Championship of the World Trophy: in 1888 Renton of Dunbartonshire, the Scottish Cup holders, beat West Bromwich Albion, the FA Cup winners, in a match dubbed as the ‘Championship of the United Kingdom and the World'. In appalling weather Renton won 4-1.
The Scottish football museum has, however, been accused, incorrectly, of attempting falsely to identify Scotland as the country where the first historical accounts of football occurred, in particular at the Hamburg Museum of Ethnology during the 2006 world cup.
