Yin Jifu
Yin Jifu (Chinese: 尹吉甫; pinyin: Yǐn Jífǔ; lit. 'Minister Jifu', fl. 826–778 BC) was a Chinese minister of the Zhou dynasty, who assisted King Xuan of Zhou in military campaigns against the Xianyun.

Several poems in the Classic of Poetry are attributed to him, including "Songgao" (崧高) and "Zhengmin" (烝民), which praise King Xuan's rule; as well as "Hanyi" (韓奕) and "Jiang Han" (江漢).

The modern scholar Li Chendong had suggested that the entire book was written by him. Li's decades of research had concluded that the places, people, and events mentioned in the Classic of Poetry are either consistent with those known to be related to Yin Jifu, or from the same time period. This view has not been widely accepted.

The town of Yinjifu, Fang County was named after him to promote tourism. Fang County and Yanjin County, Henan have both laid claims to being Yin's ancestral home.

This Chinese exonym is written with xian 獫 or 玁 "long-snouted dog", and this "dog" radical 犭 is commonly used in graphic pejorative characters. "Xianyun" was the preferred designation for northern tribes during the Zhou dynasty, earlier designations being the Xunyu, Guifang (Xia and Shang dynasties), and later ones being the Xiongnu, during the Han dynasty.

Colin Rodger
Charles Gordon "Colin" Rodger (3 March 1909 – 26 May 1982)  was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside left.

Sometimes known as "Fally", he began his career in the Scottish Football League with Ayr United, where his form was solid enough for him to be selected for the Scottish Football League XI in October 1935. This drew further attention, and three months later he moved to England with Manchester City; he was a squad member as the club won the 1936–37 Football League title, but as he only made nine league appearances (contributing seven goals) it is not clear if he was awarded a medal.

After moving to Northampton Town (as part of a player exchange also involving Fred Tilson, Keillor McCullough and Maurice Dunkley who went the other way), Rodger's career was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II, during which he made guest appearances for several Scottish clubs including Partick Thistle, Dumbarton and Ayr United.

The fixture declined in importance after regular European club competition was instituted in the 1950s; matches in the 1960s and 1970s were played irregularly and poorly attended. A match involving a Scottish League XI was last played in 1990, to mark the centenary of the League.
