RECOGNITION FOR SCOTLAND INTERNATIONAL STEWART IMLACH

Early day motion 1134, tabled 29 November 2005 by Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party). Signed by 31 members.

That this House notes the growing recognition for Lossiemouth-born footballer Stewart Imlach who represented Scotland in the 1958 World Cup and was man of the match for Nottingham Forest in the 1959 FA Cup Final; welcomes the publication of the award winning book, My Father and the Other Working Class Football Heroes, which highlights the fact that Imlach never received an official cap from the Scottish Football Association (SFA); and calls on the SFA to award a posthumous cap to the former international as it has already done in at least one other case.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Scottish National Party 6, DUP 4, Liberal Democrat 2, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
