Were they in the original 40 man squad for the 66 World Cup, but didn't make the 22?

Just to hi-jack this thread, which lasted all of 30 minutes (well done Karb!), and apologies for that, but if anyone's interested I have action &/or portrait photos of 17 of these players for sale on my website (Joe Baker's missing!) - plus most of the actual 22.

For an order today I would offer any FPC readers 10% off my listed price on any of the 40 players in the squad, any photo, action or portrait, plus free postage for an order for 3 or more.

Here is another for you? My great grandfather, Duncan Mcintyre (Third Lanark 1884-1888) is one of a few players to achieve what?

He scored for the same team in both the Scottish Cup and FA Cup

Nice one Dinky.
I was thinking on the two cups line, but couldn't get my head to narrow the link down.
