[3] Whilst out in the Catalan capital, the Johnston's Scots began to play football against each other to pass the time, undergo leisure initiatives, and feel more at home.

This team seems to disappear in the summer of 1894 as news about them becomes non-existent, but after a few years of "silence", these Scots began to play football again in 1899, with the emergence of Escocès FC.

That group consisted of seven employees of Johnston, Shields & Co: John Hamilton, Peter Mauchan, the Black brothers (Alexander and Joseph), George Girvan, Jim Dykes and Willie Gold.

The positions of the Blacks, Girvan and Dykes are still unclear, and the remaining players, of whom we know nothing about, were the Scottish textile workers from the factory in Sant Andreu.

[3] Although the figure of a coach as we know it today did not yet exist, it was Hamilton who, as captain, was in charge of orienting the team, making up the line-ups and dictating the tactics to be followed.

[3][5] Barcelona accepted since, judging by the skill shown by two members of Sant Andreu that played against Barça, it promised to be interesting under all aspects.

[6] Local historians claim that this game was the first ever 'unofficial' Spanish cup final, with the match itself recorded as Amistoso Internacional (English: International friendly).

For this reason, Escocès never faced Barcelona again, settling for confrontations against Català until the end of the season, except for a match against the curiously named HMS Calliope.

In that match, the Escocès players combined with Team Anglès in order to bolster their numbers, playing with the likes of Stanley Harris and John Parsons, and naturally, the Scots blamed their misfortunes on their neighbors.

[1] With only a month of existence, the club was immersed in a three-way controversy with FC Barcelona and Català FC, due to some players who, in a very short space of time, played matches with both Escocès and Catalá, such as Gustavo Green and Joseph Black, causing Barcelona to launch complaints in their direction as they were unhappy about Escocès stars turning out for their city rivals at the time.

[1] The local press, who were falling in the love with the game that had grabbed the city's residents, began mocking these Scottish players by calling them 'taxi-footballers', due to the ease with which they changed teams.

[1] Escocès FC had a very short life span, dissolving in November of 1900 due to Barcelona's bans on Scottish players, who then lifted the "punishment" on them on 27 December.

[9] In the end, the title come down to a clash between those two sides on 14 April 1901, in a game where all of those six Scottish players started for their respective teams, meaning that the former Escocès FC teammates and friends had now to face each other in order to achieve historical immortality.

In 2012, Alonso was collecting data from the first documented team in the neighborhood, Escocés FC, when he found out about this conversation, so he got in touch with Susanna and she ended up sending him the photo.
