About the Book

In 1962, a group of Scottish professional players were fined by the SFA for participating in an illegal football match on Spain's Costa Brava. The game was described by the secretary of the Catalan federation as 'without precedence in the history of Spanish football. Several of the players involved were famous at the time including Alex Harley, Matt Gray and Dave Hilley, all of Third Lanark, Billy McNeill and Mick Jackson of Celtic and Jim McFadzean of St. Mirren. "What Game?" tells the story of other illegal matches played by the players whilst on holiday in Lloret De Mar from 1959-1961 which were unknown to the authorities and until now have gone unreported.
