Was wondering about that too U.B.H. Can't be genuine can it? No bids on it yet, by the way....

A little snippet from the Getty Images site about the Argentina tour...

Motherwell enjoyed a period of great success between 1927 and 1934, when they were always in the top three of Scotland's First Division, They were acknowledged as the most attractive side in the country, scoring more goals than any other team in Division 1 for 4 consecutive seasons, During the summer of 1928 Motherwell set sail for a prestigious tour of Argentina, By the end of the tour they had accumulated 2 silver cups, 2 shields,gold medals and a tour record of: Played 11, won 6, drawn 1 and lost 4, Their final match was against Brazil, and, as time was short before their ship sailed, the team had to travel to the docks still wearing their football kit, The trip had been organised by a London agent Mr E. Alcaraz, and the club received a profit of £5000 for the 11 match tour, with Mr Alcaraz receiving a fee of £2000 as promoter.

During the Argentina tour we wore claret and amber striped shirts, our original amber shade was much darker than it is now and can be difficult to make out in the sepia/mono pictures from the time. For the away kit we would wear black shorts instead of white.

Very informative but in the bottom left picture is that guy wearing a bucket hat? Looks like they just pulled a ringer from the stands to make up the numbers.
