ENGLAND 2- 3 SCOTLAND

1967 BRITISH HOME CHAMPIONSH­IP

-

Like a boxer taking the belt from a heavyweigh­t title holder, the Tartan Army stormed Wembley in April 1967. Chuffed Scotland had beaten an England side containing 10 of the 11 players who had won the World Cup one year before 3- 2 in a pulsating encounter. The Tartan Army were the first country to turn the world champions over, inspired by the tenacious Denis Law. The result gave Scotland the British Home Championsh­ip for the first time in four years.

As the fighting talk goes, if you come for the kings, you’d better not miss. The Wembley Wizards certainly didn’t.
