There were, of course, two Scottish Patsy Gallachers, born eight years apart. The one, mainly of Celtic, who was never able to represent the country of almost his whole life and where he learned the game because he was born in Co. Donegal and moved with his family to Scotland when he was three. The other, the younger, born in 1909 and raised entirely in Renfrewshire in Bridge of Weir of equally Irish parents would begin the game locally before just after he turned nineteen being signed by Sunderland. And it was there, an inside-forward, that he would spend the next decade culminating in 1937 with a League win and the following year the Cup. Moreover, he was capped once, in 1934, and it should have been more, the Wearside club one at the forefront from 1931 of not releasing non-English players for international duty.
