Match Report
An iconic Scotland victory over England, all the more sweet as it was the World Cup holders’ first defeat since lifting the trophy. It was the first Scotland team selected by Bobby Brown, and he brought in the uncapped Ronnie Simpson in goal, the oldest ever Scotland debutant at 36 years old. Greig and McKinnon were the enforcers at the back, Baxter and Bremner ran the midfield, while McCalliog (also a debutant) and Law were superb up front. Law and Bobby Lennox gave Scotland a two goal advantage before Bobby Charlton pulled on back. But despite the narrow scoreline, largely thanks to Gordon Banks in the England goal, Scotland were a class apart, and the game will be forever remembered for Jim Baxter’s masterful display, including a keepy-uppy down the left that epitomised Scotland’s superiority. McCalliog scored a third near the end and although England found time for a second it was a memorable victory.
