Episode 47 - An Interview With Ross Mathie

In this week's episode Andy speaks to Ross Mathie about his life and career in football. Born and brought up in Motherwell, Ross grew up watching the Ancell Babes team that contained the likes of Ian St. John who went on to be a star at Bill Shankly's Liverpool.

Ross had a brief stint at Aberdeen before joining junior side Cambuslang Rangers with whom he won the Scottish Amateur Cup in 1969 against Kirkintilloch Rob Roy. He then made the step up to Kilmarnock where he enjoyed European football and a trip to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in the summer of 1970. After Kilmarnock Ross turned out for Dumbarton and Berwick Rangers before moving into coaching and while at the SFA, he helped to develop many future Scotland stars. These days he's active with both Football Memories Scotland and Walking Football Scotland.
