I am not going to play around, Luke was a workaday midfielder that Falkirk signed in 1901 [hey, better than me], he never really set the heather on fire and soon moved on [to clyde].

But he was from a footballing Family being a cousin of William Raisbeck [Falkirk 1905/06-1906/07] & cousin of the Liverpool & Scotland player Sandy Raisbeck.

Like most of the Raisbecks he moved to Canada shortly after where he is interred.

Like I said I will not beat about the bush, I have not visited this grave, but I am happy to bring this to you.
