0:00:29 > 0:00:33It's a tiny tale about the things Papa Murdo used to do
0:00:33 > 0:00:35when he was a footballer.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42Murdo, come on over and have a shot on the slide.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Murdo and Ross are cousins.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Quick, before he comes. Quick, you go down.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Go down. Quick.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30And, Ross, you were super, as well. There you are.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Congratulations. I won these when I played football.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- Do you know what these are?- A cap. - Well done.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40It's a Scotland international cap.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44You get this when you play for your country. You get one a year.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Not every game you're playing. One a year.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I wonder how many years Papa played for Scotland? Count the caps.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53One.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54Two.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Three. Four.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- This one.- Five.- And this one.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Six.- How many altogether?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- BOTH:- Six years! - Oh, that's fantastic.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07They talk some more about the caps
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and what it was like to be a footballer.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Papa Murdo told Murdo and Ross stories
0:02:19 > 0:02:23about how much he loved to play football when he was a little boy,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27just like these children in this old film.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Playing football was fantastic when I was a boy.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35I played football every day when I came out of school.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40As soon as you got home, change and along to the park to play football.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Even with the weather wasn't good, we'd still play football.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Everybody joined in. It didn't matter what age you were.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Any time we got tired, we had a break for ten minutes,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54went away and had a drink and came back.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We just played football until it got dark.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Papa Murdo took Murdo and Ross
0:03:04 > 0:03:07to see the street where he lived as a boy.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Boys, when I was your age, I used to live in this house behind you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Every day after school, I used to come home with my two brothers,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22we used to get changed
0:03:22 > 0:03:27and with all our friends, we used to go to the park and play football.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Where are the goalposts? Where are the lines?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35We just used to take our jumpers off and use that for goalposts.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39We didn't need lines because we kept the ball in the park.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Would you like to play football? BOTH:- Yeah!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Come on, then. A wee jog, a wee jog.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Come on, then. Right.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Right. Tops off, tops off.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Let's make the goals first. OK?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Right, Ross, give me your jacket. There you are.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I'll make this goalpost here, OK.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Right. You two that side. Come on.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Right. Who's first? Murdo, you get a wee shot.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Just pass it to Papa. Pass it to Papa. Well done.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Right, Ross, on you come.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Oh! Kick it again, Ross. Quick, kick it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yay! Quick, quick. Get the ball. Get the ball.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Quick, quick, quick.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Quick, quick, quick.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Put the ball in the net, Murdo. Quick. Score a goal.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yes!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Right, who wants a wee header?- Me!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Header it, header it, header it.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Hey! Two! Well done.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Again, again.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I think you two could be football players.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- Want to see what it was like when Papa played? BOTH:- Yay!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Get your jackets. Come on, then, hurry up.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Murdo and Ross are excited
0:04:59 > 0:05:03as Papa Murdo is taking them to an old football stadium.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Here they are in the changing room.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10When I became a footballer at a small club,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I was an apprentice footballer.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15What's an apprentice, Papa?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18You had to do all the jobs about the football club
0:05:18 > 0:05:20to make it clean and tidy.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I used to clean football boots.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Do you know how many pairs of boots I used to clean?- 10?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29A lot more than 10. 30 pairs of boots
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I had to clean all the time.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34And I think we can get started now.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Ross. There's one for you, Murdo.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40There's a brush for you, Ross.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43A brush for you, Murdo. And I'll get started here.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Make a nice shine on them so I can see my face on them.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Scrub hard.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53That's a nice shine.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57The players will be very happy with their boots now.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02What kind of other jobs did you have to do, Papa?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Apart from cleaning all the boots,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I had brush and tidy the whole stadium.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09All the dressing room had to be cleaned
0:06:09 > 0:06:13and everybody had to say you'd done a nice job.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Right, here's more.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Very good.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Cleaning all those boots must have been hard work.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33It wasn't long before Papa Murdo got a job playing football all the time.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40He got to play in a lot of games. These are some of his team-mates.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44They had to train hard to get their bodies fit enough
0:06:44 > 0:06:46to be able to run around for a whole match.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48A match lasts 90 minutes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Papa Murdo got even better at playing football
0:06:53 > 0:06:57and he played for some of the biggest clubs in the country.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58He also won medals.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Sometimes, his team even won trophies.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07There he is, holding the trophy.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10There were lots of celebrations.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Sometimes, people would cheer on the streets.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Papa Murdo got to play for lots of football clubs.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24They all had different outfits with amazing colours.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Come on in, boys, come on into the changing room.- Yay!
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Here we are. This is us in the changing room.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37The team used to come in off the bus and come into the changing room.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40It was a fantastic feeling. We were excited.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44We were looking forward to the game, hoping we'd win the match.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Then we'd take our own clothes off
0:07:47 > 0:07:51and put on the football tops. Do you know what you call this?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- A football shirt, Papa. - That's right.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56We used to wear the same colour all the time.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59The opposition team wore a different colour.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Do you know why, Murdo?- No.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05So we didn't pass the ball to an opposition player.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10After every match, you'd shake hands with the opposition players
0:08:10 > 0:08:13and sometimes, we would swap jerseys.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Look at all the different colours of jerseys up here.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- Murdo, what's your favourite? - That one.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23This is a Scotland top. That's a fantastic choice.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Oh, that's super.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30Ross, what's your favourite colour? Would you like this one here?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33This was a team I played for in Germany.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Let me see if that fits you. Oh, that looks fantastic!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Papa Murdo wore a Scotland strip when he played for his country.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46The best players in the whole of Scotland were picked
0:08:46 > 0:08:51and put into a team together to play against other countries.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Papa Murdo has brought Murdo and Ross to this stadium,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02where he played football with the Scotland team.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06This is the national stadium, Hampden Park.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'm glad you've got on your Scotland tops.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Wow, Papa, this is huge! - Absolutely massive.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Come on over to the pitch.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20This is the pitch at Hampden Park. Look at the size of it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Do you think you could run about for a full match?- No. I'm too small.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29I think when you get bigger, you could run about there for 90 minutes.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Well, Papa was here, ready to play for his country,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35waiting to step over that white line.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It was the biggest thing in my life, to go to the white line
0:09:38 > 0:09:42and actually from one side, not playing for Scotland,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44and then to get onto the other side.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48When I stepped over the line, I knew I'd play for Scotland.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- Would you like to step over the white line with me? BOTH:- Yeah!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55This is very special. Come on over.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Are you ready?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03One, two, three, go!
0:10:03 > 0:10:07CHEERING Yay! Yay!
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Sometimes, Papa Murdo likes to sit in the football stadium
0:10:16 > 0:10:19and remember some of the games he played.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Boys, let's get behind Papa on the park. Let me hear you shouting.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- BOTH:- Go, Papa! Go, Papa!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Come on!- That's a good pass! - A good pass!
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Papa Murdo played for the Scotland team 20 times.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- And here he is, shooting at goal. - Goal!- Yes!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42GROANING
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- COMMENTATOR: - That was almost a rebound.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Look at that one. I'm going to cross it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- COMMENTATOR:- Murdo MacLeod with it!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54CHEERING Goal! Yes!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- COMMENTATOR:- Scotland are one up.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Wow! What a goal!
0:11:07 > 0:11:12Papa Murdo told the boys about the time he got a bump on the head.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18When I was playing for Scotland, I had an accident on the park.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20What happened, Papa?
0:11:20 > 0:11:25We were playing against Brazil, a country really far away from here.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30A player hit a free kick at 90 miles an hour, which is really fast.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33It hit me on the side of the head and knocked me down.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- COMMENTATOR:- That really went. It looks like MacLeod got it.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Was it like this, Papa?
0:11:43 > 0:11:44MURDO LAUGHS
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Yeah, just like that, Ross. That was very good.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52After a few minutes, Papa Murdo was back on his feet,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55playing football for Scotland again.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Do you think 90 miles an hour is very fast?- Yeah!
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I think you two can try and hit the ball at 90 miles an hour.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Would you like to try? Go over to the line. Can you see this machine?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13This machine measures how fast you hit the ball.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Oh, 18. Very good, Murdo.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19A chance for Ross now. Are you ready?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21On you come, Ross.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23THEY LAUGH
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Yay! 14. Well done, Ross.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Well, boys, that's the day over. Have you enjoyed yourself?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- BOTH:- Yeah!
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- What's been your favourite part? - Hampden Park.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Did you enjoy seeing the big stadium? - Yeah.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- And the pitch?- Yeah.- Fantastic.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- Ross, what's your favourite part? - When I kicked the football.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05That was great. You were smashing kicking the ball.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Do you want to be a football player, Murdo?- Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Ross, do you want to be a football player?- Yes!
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I've got a wee special prize for both of you.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Murdo, that's one for you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22And, Ross, that's one for you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Boys, give me a wee cuddle.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Oh, thanks, Ross. Well done, Murdo, that was great.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31What a fabulous heap of fun.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34That was Murdo, Ross and Papa Murdo's tiny tale
0:13:34 > 0:13:39about the things Papa Murdo used to do and why he has special caps.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Papa Murdo has shared his story with Murdo and Ross
0:13:43 > 0:13:46and now they're starting their own stories.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Do you know someone who has a story to share?
