My old man, rest his soul, was a big York City fan and he continually recounted when, in the late 50s, they were in a semi final replay (I think) of the FA Cup against Newcastle Utd and were absolutely kicked off the park by Jimmy Scoular.
A real old time thug.
He also ranted on about some fella called Arthur Bottom who he reckoned was a superstar!
I remember Scoular, when he was player manager at Bradford Park Avenue, particularly for the 2-0 defeat Dec 62, the day the last great winter set in over Britain...he is reckoned by many to be Newcastle's hardest ever player.
We crossed swords with Scoular at Cardiff solely as manager in the early 70's, in the old Div 2, and as is not unusual with hard men , his sides liked to play decent attacking football, and the games were often quite open...he also must have brought the young John Toshack through.
