England v Scotland 1967: A Childhood Memory!

Описание: I was living in Arbroath Scotland when a year after England lifted the World Cup, they faced Scotland in the British Home Championship, Scotland had a good team and Celtic were doing well in the European Cup so Scottish football was quite bouyant, despite all of this I was feeling confident, we were World Champions after all . . . . .

Living in Arbroath and an English lad had it's ups and downs, but beating the Scots and winning the Home Championship meant everything,.


England lined up with their World Cup winning team, bar the inclusion of Jimmy Greaves over Roger Hunt

1 Gordon Banks
2 George Cohen
3 Ray Wilson
4 Nobby Stiles
5 Jack Charlton
6 Bobby Moore(c)
7 Alan Ball
8 Jimmy Greaves
9 Bobby Charlton
10 Geoff Hurst
11Martin Peters

And Scotland fielded a very strong side, back when they had top players coming through Scottish Club Football.

1 Ronnie Simpson
2 Tommy Gemmell
3 Eddie McCreadie
4 John Greig (c)
5 Ronnie McKinnon
6 Jim Baxter
7 Willie Wallace
8 Billy Bremner
9 Jim McCalliog
10 Denis Law
11 Bobby Lennox

The film shows how football wasn't wall to wall like it is today, and how quite often it wasn't until the late results service on the telly or radio that you heard the results of your team, because some of the game was on the radio I learnt of our fate a bit earlier.

Footy has changed so much over the years, but please enjoy how it was viewed back in the day, and a famous day for The Scots.

Many thanks.
