Summary:
One day a fifteen-year-old boy picked up his bike and cycled 300 miles to go to his first Scotland game. That boy grew up to become a pioneer of life, who accumulated hundreds of thousands of miles to see almost every Scotland game in the process. Although the fifteen-year old later admitted there were times when he worried about finding places to sleep or losing his way, that cycle to Hampden Park in 1958, sparked a lifelong love affair with the Scottish national team and the world's most famous tartan jacket. This is the author's account of her Granda, alongside stories recollected from people all over, about how Joseph McGunnigle conquered the world, one football match (and an occasional Glenmorangie) at a time.
