Notes

1. The match was drawn 3–3 with Bertie Auld (2 goals) and Steve Chalmers scoring for Celtic and Jimmy Greaves (2) and Alan Gilzean for Tottenham.

2. The anniversary of England's 4–2 victory over Germany on 30 July 1966 had been celebrated just five days before the Hampden Park friendly match.

3. The MCC Museum actually claims to be the oldest sports museum in the world', having begun collecting cricket-related artefacts in 1884. It was first opened to the public, however, in 1953.

4. The recent University of Kent exhibition catalogue One of the Family: The Life and Cartoons of Carl Giles from his Personal Archive (2008) demonstrates his fascination with popular culture.

5. Amongst the plethora of British sport museums that have opened since the late 1970s are: the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum (1977); the National Horse Racing Museum at Newmarket (1983); the Brooklands Museum in Surrey (1991); the Museum of Rugby at Twickenham (1996); and the River and Rowing Museum at Henley-on-Thames (1998). See Moore, ‘Sports Heritage and the Re-Imagined City'; Vamplew, ‘Facts and Artefacts'.

6. Although the IOC had plans to establish an Olympic Museum at the Villa Mon Repos in Lausanne as early as the 1920s, little was achieved until the 1980s when a provisional Musée Olympique was established at l'avenue Ruchonnet. This was a prelude to the opening of the purpose built museum at Quai d'Ouchy, Lausannne in 1993.See Huguenin, Le Musée Olympique.
