I rarely publish much about the great moments in the history of Falkirk FC, if you really want you can generally find it somewhere else, I like the slightly out of the ordinary to the outright obscure. But I was asked today which coloured shirts Falkirk & Raith Rovers wore in the 1913 Cup Final, and I simply did not know: so I found out.
Falkirk's attempt at this silly trophy [well admit it, it is hardly the Stirlingshire or the Falkirk Charity Cup] in 1913, it could be said, went very well smiting all and sundry along the way. The reason I am posting this is because I found this lovely picture of Jimmy Robertson in the act of scoring Falkirk's first goal in the final.
I love this, bit weird Falkirk FC wearing all white, but hey. James Robertson was one of our best Centre-Forwards ever, but now, more than a hundred years ago, is remembered by few.
Here is to Jimmy Robertson.
