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!
