I remember watching that. The handball for Scotland's first goal from the penalty spot is still debated. If VAR had been available it may not have been a penalty. Was the handball by the Welsh defender or Joe Jordan. Some great players on the pitch.

  Boyne: I can't see a Welsh arm or hand in the air in either pic !

Dynamo Moscow train. This is on their famous 1945 Tour of Britain.

 The great Dino Zoff. An iconic goalkeepers top !

Wembley 1971, before the European Cup Final between Ajax and Panathanikos.

This would solve issues of too large a number of fans leaving The Bridge...

 28th May 1975. European Cup Final in Paris. Bayern Munich 2 v 0 Leeds United 0.

The great Bayern Munich striker Gerd Muller scores the 2nd goal of the game.

  And here he celebrates one of his goals that night.

 Crowd outside Hampden in the 1930s Scotland v England.  Very few men not wearing a hat or a 'bunnet' (cap) !

 This simply awful Coventry City away strip from the late 1970s, was mentioned on another thread.

Think the player wearing it in this photo, is the Scottish International player, Ian Wallace. The worst ever British team away strip I have ever seen.

adidas World Cup 78 Boots. They cost £30 back in 1978, an absolute fortune. Classic boots.

 John Charles with Juventus team mates Omar Sivori and Giampiero Boniperti. I've read these three were called ‘The Holy Trident’.

John Charles scored 93 goals in 155 games for Juventus during his time there !  'Il Gigante Buono' 'The Gentle Giant' He had  no yellow or red cards throughout his career !

Remember watching Scotland v England Home Internationals on the telly late 70s/ early 80s.

England went one nil up, but the Hampden Roar just got louder. Remember saying to the old man “ Great Support seeing as their loosing”

With that the camera panned onto a group of smiling calaedonians all supping tins of McEwans.

Old Man “ There so smashed they haven’t got a clue what the score is”

Some supporters used to save up for two whole years to come down to Wembley for the England v Scotland game. T

There were 'Wembley clubs' in various places of employment back then.

Interested employees would sign up to go and they would to put in money to their fund every week for the two years  eg. June 1975 to May 1977.

It didn't matter to some , perhaps many, if they didn't actually get a match ticket, It was their 'Wembley Weekend' .

 The Graf Zeppelin flies over Wembley during the 1930 FA Cup Final.

 

 

The pitch invasion above on Wembley 4th June 1977. Great picture.    It cost £1.50 to stand on the terraces.
