Yes I did know all that prior to my search, I thank you just the same, perhaps you may know what does "capped" mean? being from the states, I have zero knowledge of these terms.
Thank you again for your post,
Warm Regards,

"capped" = selected to play for the Scottish international football (Oops :oops: soccer xmas:biggrin: ) team. In those days they actually received a cap with a right wee fancy tassle on the top !

Hi Karen

I too have found a rellie who played "football". When I was trying to learn more about the sport I found this photo online of what a cap looked like.
