Apparently the first recorded example of football boots were owned by Henry VIII.
Football boots: worn by oversexed egomaniacs since 1526.
The description of Hank's boots - heavy, leather, ankle high - actually chimes with the general principles of the humble boot through much of the last 150 years or so.

The Scottish Football Blog's first ever 24 hour blogathon takes place on 19 November.
Both the charities I'm fundraising for are close to my heart. One of them, Alzheimer Scotland, I've chosen for particularly personal reasons.
To see dementia take hold of someone you love is horrific.

Bloggers, the Scottish Football Blog needs you!
On 19-20 November I'm doing a 24 hour blogathon to raise money for the Homeless World Cup and Alzheimer Scotland.
I'll be writing (and researching) a 500 word (or more) blog post every hour for 24 hours.
And I need your help.

I was ruminating on Twitter last night about the Scottish Football Blog approaching twin milestones.
The blog is closing in on 1000 posts and its fifth birthday.
How to celebrate? The idea of Jimmy Boco appearing at a blog testimonial did appeal. But I'm fatter than Paul Kane and worse at football than Joe Tortolano so the opportunity for humiliation seems too great.

A quiet June for me on the blogging front.
Everyone needs a break. Expecially if they spend too much time thinking about, writing about and watching Scottish football.
What have I missed?
A Romanov rant, this one wrapped up in an apparent defence of a convicted sex offender, followed by Hearts applying the handbrake and deciding on the course of action that most expected them to follow in the first place.
