With a total of more than 500 goals in careers that saw them turn out for the likes of Hibs, St Mirren, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Torino, Joe and Gerry Baker are two of the greatest strikers Scotland never had. While Liverpool-born Joe became the first man to make his England debut having never played in the English league, US-born Gerry, hero of St Mirren's cup-winning side of 1959, was the first top-flight European footballer to turn out for the USA. With unprecedented access to the Baker family archives, 'The Fabulous Baker Boys' is a unique tale of Scotland's celebrated sporting siblings.
