Arthurlie Football Club dates back to the 1870's and was one of the first members of the Scottish Football Association. On the 9th January, 1891 it famously beat Celtic by 4 -2 in the first round of the Scottish Cup. Before the game, Andrew Cairnduff, an enterprising outfitter, offered a special line in "Humph Bunnets" with a new one for each member of the Arthurlie team if they won. He kept his promise. The Humph Football Field is where the famous defeat of Celtic took place. It was feared by other clubs because of its strange shape and is now part of the Dunterlie Housing Scheme, Barrhead

1st March 1869 There was one fatal accident by an explosion of fire-damp, that of Thos Cairnduff aged 25 who died a few days after he was burned by an explosion of gas at Cornsilloch Colliery, Hamilton, in March last. He was working in a bratticed place, and was re-entering his place, after fifteen minutes absence, with his naked light, and ignited some gas which had accumulated during his absence. The pit had newly reached the coal, the door stoop was not turned, and the ventilating arrangements were only temporary.

James and Alexander Carnduff
James B. Carnduff was born in Cathcart, Scotland in 1876. After a brief residence in Gibralter, Carnduff came to Nagasaki to work for Holme, Ringer and Co. in 1896. On April 14, 1906, while employed in the Pusan office of Holme, Ringer & Co, he married Edith Margaret Wilson, a British resident of Nagasaki and the daughter of J.H. Wilson of Mitsubishi. Soon after, while working in China, he developed tuberculosis. After a rest in California, James Carnduff returned to Japan but his condition continued to deteriorate.  On November 2, 1908, he died at his wife's parents' house at Minamiyamate No. 17 at the age of thirty-two and was buried at Sakamoto International Cemetery. Alexander Carnduff, James's younger brother, was born in Glasgow, Scotland on September 15, 1879. He too was employed by Holme, Ringer & Co., working out of its Seoul office. In July 1912, Alexander Carnduff married someone whom he had known in Nagasaki for years - his former sister-in-law, Edith Margaret Wilson. Alexander Carnduff later became the manager of John P. Carr & Co.

Alan Cairnduff brought two things to the world of Simple Minds: a name and an introduction. He came up with the name Johnny And The Self Abusers, a band who would blow away everyone else at the Doune Castle.
And he fleshed out his imaginary band, when he suggested that Jim and Charlie should visit John Milarky.
The next week Johnny And The Self Abusers were on stage. Cairnduff thought of himself as a vocalist, but with Jim and John Milarky providing that role (with Brian McGee capable of the backing role), he never made it on stage.
He then disappeared from the story completely.
