Scotch Professors
The Scotch Professors were Scottish football players of the late 19th century who moved south to play for clubs participating in the English Football League during the period when football had become professional in England but remained (theoretically) amateur in Scotland. == Style of play == The origin of the name was based upon the distinctive Scottish style of play – described at the time as being "combination football" – which was centred upon a passing game with greater teamwork such as those played at English clubs like Sheffield FC and Royal Engineers A.F.C..
