From a Scheme to a Dream and Everything in Between: The Early Memoirs of Thomas Nolan

by Thomas Nolan

FROM A SCHEME TO A DREAM – AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN Thomas Nolan (nicknamed Tizzy) writes with insight and good humour about his early years. Raised in the Wardieburn/Granton area of Edinburgh, Thomas achieves his dream of becoming a professional footballer, moving from Edinburgh to Australia and back again. Now in his eighties, he evokes a happy childhood in circumstances very different from that experienced by children today. His Edinburgh is both recognisable but greatly changed. Tizzy’s story is a must-read for everyone interested in history, family life, social conditions, education, travel, or football!

Thoroughly enjoyable read. Loved reading stories of old Edinburgh and the highs and lows of playing football in Scotland and Australia in 1960s. Funny throughout. Buy it!!!

Hello Thomas and thank you for a wonderful read. I bumped into you in the street a few months back and I would love to meet again in Edinburgh! Hoping you see this. Leanne (the girl who complimented your outfit!)
