The Scotland squad for the 1982 World Cup. Some fine players. Went 1-0 up against Brazil through a great goal by David Narey and ended up losing 4-1.

Back Row: Souness, Rough, McLeish, Hansen, Thomson, Narey

Middle: Wark, Frank Gray, Miller, Jock Stein, Brazil, Archibald, Aitken

Front: Sturrock, Strachan, McGrain, Hartford , Dalglish.

I'd struggle to name many of the current Scottish international players though.

Is Charlie Cooke at the left hand of the front row? The great John Greig standing next to Eddie.

I do believe that that is bonny prince Charlie bottom left.

Front Row The Bonnie Prince, Bremner, Gilzean, Willie Johnson ? Bobby Lennox

If only I'd studied my school books as much as I studied my footballbooks...

I think you're right about it being Ron McKinnon standing next to Gemmell and Willie Johnston next to Lennox. Some great players there. I reckon the last great Scottish player up to Billy Gilmour was Barry Ferguson. But then I am biased towards Rangers.

I guess that's down to me mentioning the Rangers more than a few times on here! And my avatar is of three Rangers legends: Forsyth, Cooper and Greig. I've worn a Rangers shirt to a few games at the Bridge, the last time being in April 2011 a few days after my Dad passed away. He was a Rangers fan so out of respect.

A few players including our first manager have played for both sides. I would have loved to have seen Nevin and Cooper on the same side. That would have frightened the opposition and would have had defenders tied up in knots.

And here's a man who played for both sides. A legend.

A privilege to have seen him play and he was a complete gentleman when I met him outside Ibrox in late 1987.

Jimmy Greaves training in goal with England at The Bridge 1965.

Bomb damage to the West Stand at Upton Park, which was hit in August 1944.

When adidas got it wrong in their catalogue, back in 2015.

The new adidas retro Man Utd top, but with a pair with our bottoms

Lets face it our club crest and club colours aren't even remotely similar to Man Utds...

Superb. Reminded me of a story told to me by one of the guys I go to the games with. He and his wife used to run a shop and one day a customer wearing a Man. Utd shirt and West Ham shorts. My mate gave him a load of stick.

Be careful when playing football in your house.

 

Scotland v England 1970. 134,000 attended, officially.

Despite this 'tackle' above a penalty was not given and it ended 0-0.

The two captains.

Kevin Keegan shakes hands with Kenny Dalglish before the England v Scotland match at Wembley in May 1979.

England won 3-1, with Keegan scoring one of the England goals.

George Best shaking hands with Johan Cruyff .

Both were playing football in the USA in the earlyish 1980s.

Best with San Jose Earthquake and Johan Cruyff with Washington Diplomats,

England line up before playing Wales at Cardiff in the 1978 Home Internationals.

Boyne: A few  pics for you !

Rod Stewart in a Rangers strip. 

Looks mid 1970s going by the Rangers strip .   Think that might well be Jim Baxter to is left in second picture.

@erskblueThanks for posting. It is Jim Baxter in the left-hand picture. I recognise the person to Rod's right but can't put a name to him. A classic Rangers shirt.

Ironically, Rod is now a regular attendee at Celtic Park.

@erskblueThe other person in the picture is Jackie McInally. He played for Motherwell and Hamilton Accies in the early to mid seventies.

Rod Stewart and Jim Baxter, what a 'night out on the town that would have been.

Indeed. Slim Jim did like a drop and ran a pub for a while. It's amazing how many ex-footballers e.g. Osgood and Hutchinson used to run pubs. Can't think of many recent footballers who now run pubs.
