Football On This Day – 10th May 1947
The four British Football Associations - England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales - have had something of a love-hate relationship over the years with FIFA,  the governing body of world football. In 1928 - not for the first time - the four home country FAs withdrew from FIFA,  this time due to a disagreement over FIFAs proposal to allow 'broken time' payments to amateur players. The four rejoined FIFA in 1946 and so on May 10th 1947 Hampden Park in Glasgow hosted a friendly between Great Britain and the Rest of Europe to help celebrate that re-unification. The fixture was described as 'The Match of the Century' with the GB side consisting of English players Frank Swift, George Hardwick, Stanley Matthews, Wilf Mannion and Tommy Lawton while Archie Macaulay, Billy Steel and Billy Liddell were from Scotland, Billy Hughes and Ron Burgess from Wales and although Jackie Vernon was the only Northern Irish player the opposition included Johnny Carey, an Irishman from south of the border. Goals from Mannion (2), Lawton (2), Steel and an og saw GB win 6-1 with an amazing 137,000 crowd producing £35,000 in receipts which was donated to FIFA.   www.footballsite.co.uk

Ray Clemence took the England captain’s armband for the visit of the star-studded Brazil squad in May 1981

. He was the first goalkeeper to captain England since Frank Swift

The great  Socrates was the Brazilian Captain that night.

Indeed. And none of the players is wearing gloves. Bit different from nowadays.

The Leith goalkeeper is the father of the one time Rangers goalie, Andy Goram. Andy's nickname is The Goalie.

A couple of pictures from when Rangers played Dynamo Moscow in 1945. Rangers borrowed shirts (blue and white hoops) from Queens Park to avoid a clash of colours.

The Soviet side wore dark blue I.e. similar to Glasgow's best team. Me being biased again.
