General notes:
Arthurlie Football Club dates back to the 1870's and was one of the first members of the Scottish Football Association. On the 9th January, 1897 they famously beat Celtic by 4 -2 in the first round of the Scottish Cup. Before the game, Andrew Cairnduff, an enterprising outfitter, offered a special line in "Humph Bunnets" with a new one for each member of the Arthurlie team if they won. He kept his promise. The Humph Football Field is where the famous defeat of Celtic took place. It was feared by other clubs because of its strange shape and is now part of the Dunterlie Housing Scheme, Barrhead.From Barrhead Museum Collection
