Mind the Time, a collection of poems paying tribute to the legends of
football in Scotland

MIND the time when…? Football fans could complete that question a million times over. A new anthology of poetry, Mind the Time, does the same for a good cause and to good effect. 

The Football Memories project does groundbreaking work creatively tackling dementia and, with the help of the guys behind the excellent Nutmeg football quarterly, has produced a book deserving attention from football fans and poetry buffs alike.

The aim of the Football Memories project is to improve the lives of people who suffer from dementia (over 90,000 in Scotland alone) – sufficient to fill Hampden almost twice. Quite a crowd and a chilling statistic.
