		Gallacher was opposed to the United Kingdom becoming involved in World War I and was president of the Clyde Workers' Committee, an organisation that had been formed to campaign against the Munitions Act, which forbade engineers from leaving the works where they were employed and to organise the Clydeside workers in general.
		Gallacher and John Muir, the editor were both found guilty and sent to prison.
		Whilst revolution was the furthest thing from the minds of the trade union leaders of the day, Gallacher later claimed that they should have marched to the barracks in the Maryhill district of the city and encouraged the Scottish troops there to leave them and join the workers against the government.

	BBC - A Sporting Nation - Wembley Wizards 1928
		The controversy deepened when it was discovered that McGrory had been passed over in favour of Hughie Gallacher – not an uncommon occurrence with two such gifted players – but in the knowledge that Gallacher had not played for two months it seemed a criminal decision.
		Dogged England defending kept the Scots at bay in the opening period of the second half, despite James rattling the post with an audacious volley, but the little Scottish forwards were irrepressible, and 20 minutes after the restart, Jackson grabbed his second, from another precise Morton cross.
		Gallacher then provided the set up for Alex James to grab a deserved second of the game to make it 4-0, and the Morton-Jackson combination worked again as another cross was forced in the net by the Huddersfield winger to claim his hat-trick and round off the Scottish scoring.

		He was an alcoholic, and he committed suicide in 1957, on the day before he was due to appear in court to face a charge of maltreating his son.
		Nevertheless, Gallacher was a sublime footballer who packed extra-ordinary pace, power and skill into his diminutive 5ft 5in (1.65m) frame.
		A prolific scorer - he scored 22 goals in the course of 19 games for Scotland, twice scoring five in a single match - Hughie Gallacher was a member of the so-called 'Wembley Wizards' who thrashed England 5-1 in 1928; oddly, in that particular match, he failed to score.

		Gallacher's intelligent running takes away defenders and creates more space for the other forwards.
		He's a class player and there's no doubt in my mind that he should be offered a new contract.
		Gallacher's movement yesterday was top notch and he also notes the traditional Rovers style of play which is to try and get as many crosses in as possible.

	NUFC Opinion: Time Newcastle United & The City Honoured The Great Hughie Gallacher
		Before Wee Hughie there had been big name centre-forwards and star players of course; Jock Peddie, Bill Appleyard, Albert Shepherd and Neil Harris, scorer of an FA Cup winning goal and Hughie's predecessor in the shirt, but Gallacher set the standard for the likes of Milburn and Shearer.
		With the greatest of goals to games ratio of any United marksman before or since and having Skippered Newcastle to their last ever League Title, Gallacher perhaps deserves to be ranked as numero uno.
		As a United supporter, Gallacher is a big hero of mine.

		When it comes to Newcastle United centre forwards, we have been richly blessed, from Hughie Gallacher to Alan Shearer and we all have our favourite based on personal observation and what we look for in a player.
		Let me therefore preface this piece by saying straight away that my personal idol in the fl and white number nine shirt was Len White, scorer of 108 first division league goals in a four season purple patch which coincided with my most consistent period as an avid observer on the terraces.
		Others might opt for the explosive talent of Supermac, the bravery and astounding heading ability of Wyn Davies or the historically captivating exploits of wee Hughie.
