The Keegan and Brooking combination for the 3rd goal was pure class

[@igolfjtweetler4097]

Great Keegan goal that.

[@musicplateau1]

Ray Clemence was a great keeper, that reflex save early in the game showed just what he could do week in week out. A lot of today's players and managers aren't really old enough to have witnessed what he did in the game back then, but let me tell you he was quick, a shot stopper and good off his line. This from a proud Evertonian, rest in Peace Ray.

[@markastor6740]

I remember that save, brilliant. Had an opportunity to meet the great man when he was in remission, a true gentleman.

[@MadderMel]

Truly World Class goalkeeper !

[@scottbarty6216]

This when football was football love it...none of this pish we have now a days,we lost but what a game

[@kevinhoughton9134]

Totally agree mate, I was gonna comment pretty much the same. I can't get my head around how a team these days can go from being on a dangerous attack to giving it back to their 'keeper in about three or four passes. Too much fancy coaching shit in today's game I think, and too much Foreign influence.

[@robbuglass6199]

Scott Barty I didn’t see your comments before I put mine . Before I pressed play I couldn’t remember the result . It’s always good to see your country win so pleased but I used to get a buzz watching the home internationals . There should be a campaign to bring them back .

I’ll never forget that Keegan goal as a kid watching with my dad

[@dazo69]

I was fortunate to see all these players when i was a kid in the 80's. I got to see John Wark as well when he was playing for Ipswich in 1997 (i'm a Birmingham Fan) and the guy was just pure quality and was head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch and if my memory serves, was playing as a sweeper/centre half, just terrific.

[@peteherbert8782]

[@jeremypearson6852]

I was one of a few English fans at this game as a 17 year old. Very scary experience. We moved at halftime after threats from Scottish fans. It was so packed our feet could barely touch the ground. This was the era when England struggled so much to qualify for the WC. IDT it was due to a lack of talent, just the style they played. Keegan was just about the best player we had then. I think he would still be a great player today.

[@kisbie]

Before I watched the re-run of this game all these years later I clearly remembered 3 things from this game from childhood - Warks opener, Clemence reaction save and Keegan's 1-2 with Brooking. Seeing Joe Jordan's assault on Phil Neal just before Graham's cross lead to Wark's goal is hilarious!!

[@jamieshelton7419]

[@kailashpatel1706]

England through the 1970s had great players but form the mid 1970s inc this period here and the early 1980s, a real crop of talent came through Barnes and Coppell on the flanks Brooking and Keegan up front and Wilkins a stable force in the middle (Thompson at the back as well)

[@berndeigner8837]

from a german point of view I always wondered why they play this home championship every year! Probably a main reason why England had in the 70's and 80's less success inn EC/WC. The games are interesting to watch and I like it but they knew everything about their opponents, played most of them every week! They should have played more against different tactical styles

[@leehogg6248]

They had this tournament in the 60s when England won the world cup. Also it was easy to have these games as almost everyone played in the UK. Also the rivalry meant a very intense series of games .

[@wonjubhoy]

The first international was Scotland v England. It is a derby. Look at how competitive their game was at euro 2000. Scotland are the only team the English haven't beaten yet at the Euros.

Why have Scotland not got the quality players they had in the 1960's & 1970's. I would love to see the home internationals played every two years when there is no World Cup & European Championship. Peter Barnes also scored opening goal for Man City v Newcastle United in League cup final in 1976. I liked Steve Coppell & Asa Hartford. Great goal by Keegan who later became a Newcastle hero first as a player in 82-84 and in the Nineties managing the Toon's team of entertainers.

[@weetak]

@@gsf67 i played in goal before ... people remember us for the mistakes and not the saves...alex ferguson in his autobiography did mention that in the 1-1 draw vs Wales that got Scotland to world cup play off....Rough was not the greatest goalkeeper but a jovial character that calmed the Scotland team who lost Jim Leighton and trailing 0-1. Maybe due to lack of competition, Rough earned 53 caps. He played for a long time and probably a decent keeper who sometimes lost concerntrate and made memorable mistakes. I think Dundee Utd's Billy Thompson was also very good but one Leighton emerged in 1983...Rough had to play second fiddle.
