Caldow, Eric Eric Caldow (professional footballer and Scotland internationalist) was raised in Skerrington and attended Cumnock Academy. Eric first played for the Cumnock Academy Football Team at right-back. His first Junior Football Team was Muirkirk but he was soon signed by Glasgow Rangers and played for them until 1964.
Eric was capped for Scotland 40 times from 1957 to 1963. His first cap was on 6th April 1957 against England at Wembley in front of a crowd of 97,520 where Scotland LOST 2-1. His last game was on the 6th April 1963 against England at Wembley - where he broke his leg. Despite the handicap of only 10 men (no substitutes in those days) Scotland WON the game by 2-1 with the two goals coming from Jim Baxter.
Eric received a civic reception in 1961 because of his fame as a Scottish internationalist. He managed Cumnock Juniors for a short time in 1978.
