I was there as a 9 year old in complete awe at the size of the crowd. Proper Football, proper players who loved playing for there country. This game I will take to the grave with me, on of my favourite ever. Modern football and greed has killed the game. And David Coleman was the best commentator ever. Great memories.

Was there that day. Nice to see the Scottish passion for the jersey. Shilton has been Englands best keeper in my lifetime, he never got as many caps as he deserved

[@martydav9475]

That policy of alternating Shilton and Clemence was a mistake.Shilton and Dino Zoff were the best goalkeepers in the world at that time.

[@Bazooka183]

He still got a lot, and too many in my opinion, because he went on too long. His mistakes in World Cups 86 and 90 cost England dearly. But he definitely was a better keeper than Clemence, and that Don Revie alternating policy was truly ridiculous!

This was my first ever international match. 12 year old and travelled up from England with a trip from my local non league football team. The noise was phenomenal. Having seen this loved the ‘Baxter’s Scoth Broth’ sign. You would have thought they’d have been able to spell ‘Scotch’ correctly.

[@infrasleep]

It's sad how you Scot's have faded since those great days (not that I'm saying England or the PL are great-I much prefer this era) Celtic were easily the best British club side from 1967 to the mid 70's with Rangers producing superb sides (ECWC winners 1972) and any Scottish side in Europe-Dunfermline ,Hibs, Dundee-both-) were formidable ,and world class players were regularly produced-Baxter through to Gilzean Dave McKay Bremner Dalglish Jimmy Johnstone Colin Stein -the days when an English club would add class by buying a Scot! Pat Nevin said that kids don't play football every waking minute any more in Scotland which is why the glory days are gone-me I think the league structure has weakened things-the old Division One and Two allowed a lot of clubs to develop players, the current Scots set up makes all the lower clubs unable to have the league stability to allow them to produce-but who knows ? The lower leagues in England aren't producing like before as all the transfer cash from the top goes to buy off the peg foreign players......all of which makes me sad the old days are gone. But at least we got to see them !

Many say England Team was pretty hopeless in the 1970s, failing to reach final stages of tournements. On closer examination, they were eliminated by top teams - 1972 by West Germany (soon world champion), 1973 by Poland (semi-finalist a year later), 1975 by the Czechs (who would win the 1976 European Championship), 1977 by Italy (like Poland, semi-finalist a year later). Failed, they may have. But they did ran into formidable oppositions.

Lee wee tak interesting You make a compelling argument But are you saying other than Germany 72 any of those sides were better than England

[@weetak]

This was the 1974 Home Championship match between Scotland and England at Hampden Park. Scotland had qualified for the 1974 World Cup finals in Munich whereas England didn't.As such Scotland under Willie Ormond were using the Home Championship as part of the preparations for the Munich finals. England in May had sacked Sir Alf Ramsey and caretaker Joe Mercer took over for the time being. This time around England had to do without Bobby Moore and Alan Ball.Instead Liverpool's Emlyn Hughes took over the captaincy.Colin Bell,Norman Hunter and Martin Peters were the only senior men left.The last was the only survivor from the 1966 World Cup winning team as Moore had retired from international football and Ball suffered a broken leg. Scotland dominated the proceedings and two freakish own goals won the home team the match.For Martin Peters it was his last England game but the latter was only a shadow of himself.

[@Del-yv1qy]

England were bably managed in the 1970s,pity as they had a fantastic selection of great talent that could have done well .

And was woefully bad for Brehmer's free kick that ballooned up off Paul Parker in the semi-final.

What a dreadful England side that was, some good individual players but totally disjointed as a team and somewhat bereft of ideas. Without Shilts they would have been embarrassed. You can see why Frank Worthington only won 8 caps, all coming that year btw, he was never international material.

[@chrisbennett606]

shoutinghorse he was skilful though He had many offers to play for a few Brazilian clubs

[@Bazooka183]

Worthington was poor at Hampden in 74, but the man was a fantastic footballer in general, who had everything in his locker. Once Don Revie took over from Ramsey, he could'nt wait to ditch flambouyant characters like Worthy and SuperMac. Part of the reason why Revie was a disaster at International level!

Before the game Alf Ramseywarned Ball and a few others NOT to wind up that great passionate Scottish crowd but he could not resist and ignored the instruction by the corner flag. As Ball passed Ramsey a couple of minutes later he was fearing a tongue lashing as THe Scots were furious and Alf said: " WELL DONE, SON!" lol

I think that was the 1972 match. According to Emlyn Hughes, Alan Ball also wiped his nose on one of the corner flags. He had over a hundred thousand Scots baying for his blood. Bally didn’t give a shit.
