Ray Kennedy and Bruce Rioch, England v Scotland, 4th June 1977, Wembley.

The two captains.

Ray Wilkins and Graeme Souness. England v Scotland 1986.

Two great midfield players.

Little did either know that Graeme Souness would be Ray Wilkins boss at Glasgow Rangers ay the end of the following year !

Second picture is I think at Hampden in May 1985 ?

A great Scottish side and a wonderful result for them. I wish I'd been at that game. Made up for the England v Scotland game in 1975 where the former won 5-1. I was at that game with my Dad. 

There is probably still a lot of Wembley turf in gardens in Scotland.

Another picture of Tardelli's celebration.

Second Pic :v Davie Cooper of Rangers in 1979 League Cup Final.

Bottom picture: He's the No 3 'sorting out ' a Celtic fan, who'd run onto the pitch to attack Gordon Strachan !

It's debatable whether the Police were actually needed. Actually perhaps they were. but for that fans safety

Not sure who the Real Madrid player is but I don't think he's going to win the argument with Doug. In the bottom picture I recognise Danny McGrain a fine full-back. I think the other Celtic player is Tommy Burns. Doug was sent off in the LCF for a clash with DJ. Rangers won 2-1 with goals from Bomber and Doddie. A fine Rangers team.

30th April 1961: Chelsea footballer Jimmy Greaves Jimmy Greaves visits AC Milan before joining the club  !

That's what the original caption states.

A striker who had a happier time at AC Milan than Jimmy Greaves.

Marco Van Basten.

The Italian squad for Italia 90. The players are wearing other nations' shirts. Mancini in the Scotland shirt.

England v Scotalnd June 1996.

The BBC pundits pile into Gascoigne at half-time, with Jimmy Hill saying "he doesn't look physically right, he doesn't look emotionally right. Without him, the England team suffers". Alan Hansen, meanwhile, sings Scotland's praises, adding: "They have done really well. The only thing that was missing was a goal."

Think that's Gordon Hill, who played for Man Utd and England in the 1970s.

 

Shoot had nearly doubled in price July 74-July 78.

From 8p to 15p ! Shocking !!

Who, 'of a certain Chelsea vintage' remembers these ?

Guilty  !

 

Always new that Oor Wullie is a 'Gers fan.

Well I never knew that Robert De Niro played for East Fife.

Brilliant !

Kenny Dalglish needs few drinks to help him when wearing a jacket like that.

One of these players would eventually go and play for Barcelona !

No idea of game or venue.

I think the manager is Craig Brown who went on to manage the Scotland team in the nineties.
