Robert Parlane's Grave Restoration
- Almost There
Some months ago the SFHG re-found the grave of Robert Parlane, winner of two Scottish Cups and Scotland's third ever, international goalkeeper. He had won his caps whilst playing for Renton but work took him to Belfast, life and family took over and it is in that city that he died and is buried in a grave that a wee while ago looked as was being restored, stage by stage, as an SFHG initiative and at our expense.
As Was
As Also Was
And this is how it looks just now, cleaned, tidy, respecting of the man and what he did. And all it needs is a matching ceremony. Watch this space.
This is just part of the work the we at the SFHG initiate and carry out and there are more graves of similar importance to Scottish and Scots global football history that are in a similar poor condition and which we hope to get to. And, of course, any money to help this work is greatly appreciated. For details of our Donations Account simply click here.
