Announcement - 16th June 2022
The Hampden Collection is delighted to announce Lost Glasgow has joined the Football's Square Mile Alliance, which celebrates and promotes the world's biggest open-air football museum and campaigns to make it a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Norry Wilson, Founder of Lost Glasgow, explains, "Although I can't play for toffee, Lost Glasgow is happy to support both the Hampden Collection, and the Football's Square Mile Alliance's bid for UNESCO World Heritage status. The modern game, which was born on the streets and playing fields of Glasgow, is this city's gift to the world. From South America to Russia, the early game echoed to the shouts of Glasgow voices – that first Hampden Roar resonates still, and urges us on."
Lost Glasgow is another brilliant addition to our growing Alliance of like-minded organisations promoting, protecting and celebrating Scotland's unique footballing heritage, and their role as the grand architects of world football.
Graeme Brown, Founder of The Hampden Collection said, "Our Alliance is growing, and we are thrilled Lost Glasgow has joined up, and will promote our mission through their website and social media pages. Their pages are devoted to Glasgow's changing architecture and its people throughout the last few centuries, and football is a central part of Glasgow’s history. They will help us explain Scotland's story to an avid audience by sharing, discussing and learning about the birthplace of modern football."
Football's Square Mile is the home of the Scotch Professors, as they colloquially became known, who created the passing, running and inclusive game of football, and transported it to every corner of the planet. The tie-up with Lost Glasgow will provide another important voice to engage people from across the world, and we cannot wait to share the stories and events celebrating the history of the beautiful people's game.
