Very proud to say I WAS THERE and still have the stub of my ticket, what an occasion. I was an apprentice joiner on a terribly awful wage (slave labour) my pal and I finished up on the park at the end. That experience will never leave me. the ticket was 10 shillings and the train was 5 pounds return. I had saved up for the occasion, those were the days we appreciated small things and all the things our parents did for us!! Changed days.

I miss the days when Scotland played England in the old Home Internationals. What a great Scottish team this was. A really good mix of Rangers, Celtic, and Anglos. Scotland used to produce some of the world's best players, as did England. I remember watching this game on the telly with my dad and our neighbour, who came from Aberdeen. After it was over, he went home and came back with a bottle of whisky he'd been saving and poured the old man a few generous drams to show there was no hard feelings. Being 11, I had to make do with a bottle of pop.

Well done to Scotland for beating us 2-3 at Wembley. That’s probably the best you have played against us at Wembley or in England in general since before WWII.

I can remember feeling nervous when I heard that Scotland were going to field 2 uncapped players against the World Champions. It turned out that they were among the best on the pitch. As it turned out that 1967 was a great year for Scottish football when Celtic won the European Cup and did it with a team, none of whom were born more than 10 miles from Glasgow.

I remember the game but not the details. I know, as an England supporter that I was very disappointed that Scotland won. England's first defeat since winning the World Cup I think. As a young lad of 11 I thought England should be invincible. Watching this now, I can see that there were some very good skilful footballers on both sides and Scotland played very well. I think that Scotland, even more so than England, have suffered in terms of the quality of their teams in more recent times, in my view, due to the importation of so many foreign players into the English Premier League. All of the names of the players sound so familiar. Its like watching old friends and so much more recognisable names and faces, to me, than the players of today.

The doctor was having none of this and handed Stan a handful of pills saying “ these will sort that out chap “ or something to that effect. What followed was Stanleys’ recounting of the hat-trick he’d bagged followed by his getting home , doing the garden then getting back out of bed to “ tidy up the magazine rack and put the hoover round “ .... ‘ just what the doctor ordered ‘ 🙄regards from Wessex ps I believe there WAS a clip where Stanley or another player declared “ we had no idea what the doc would hand out - they’d say they were vitamins “ pls loved your interview with Sparks 😁

They should have the annual England-Scotland international match say for the Sir Alf Ramsey Cup on a home and away format.It may not necessarily that the Home Championship be revived.

[@yiseng4602]

England as the World Cup champions were expected to beat Scotland easily in this 1967 Home Championship match which also counted as a Nations Cup tie. England had gone 19 matches unbeaten and were expected to extend it to 20 but Sir Alf Ramsey's charges had not been aware that England-Scotland clashes had always been a closed affair.Only the year before in the Home Championship at Hampden Park England fought out a thrilling match with Scotland with the former finally emerging 4-3 winners.If not for Nobby Stiles who saved on the line with his outstretched leg the match would have been drawn 4-4. Now except for Jimmy Greaves all the rest were World Cup winners with England at Wembley.The English fans expect an England mauling of the visitors who last won at Wembley in 1963. But there were unfortunate incidents on the Wembley pitch that affected the home team.Ray Wilson was out with an injury and so was lanky Jack Charlton who was carrying a hamstring injury and virtually a passenger for the rest of the match as there was no substitutions in those days. With only nine fit men on the pitch England were found wanting and their defense was cruelly exposed. All the same the home team fought to the last and yes Jack Charlton despite carrying an injury scored one of the two England goals. The Scots were elated after the final whistle sounded as if the visitors had won the World Cup. Denis Law who scored the first goal then approached England's goalkeeper Gordon Banks and cockily said to the latter," Since we have beaten you are we not unofficially the world champions?"A bemused Banks back off even refusing a plate of mayonnaise. As for Alan Ball his hatred for Scotland was legendary it was the only time he suffered defeat playing against the Scots. Scotland were worthy winners that afternoon at Wembley but their victory was a hollow one being aided by the unfortunate injuries to Ray Wilson and Jack Charlton. Nevertheless it cannot be denied Scotland's victory at Wembley.They in fact dominated the proceedings and could have scored more than three goals.Bobby Lennox,Ian Macreadie,John Greig,Ian Wallace and of course Jim Baxter and Denis Law were all outstanding but Jim Baxter performance was world class.He teased and tormented the English defense and even juggled with the ball.This was vintage Jim Baxter.Jim Baxter had the knack of scoring against Gordon Banks he did that in 1963 also at Wembley with a brace.

[@ThefightingCelt]

What a load of nonsense . Who are Ian McCreadie and Ian Wallace . Scotland were by far the better side on the day. The injured Jackie Charlton somehow managed to run about for 90 mins and score a goal . One thing you failed to mention was that Jimmy Johnstone was due to play but dropped out and was replaced by his Celtic team mate , Willie Wallace . After the match , it emerged that Denis Law was not happy with Baxter's on field antics and told him so , saying that the team could and would have scored more goals but for his showboating . That said , for me the classiest player on the Wembley pitch was Bobby Charlton - you can tell how much he modelled his game on Alfredo Di Stefano .

The only concern about that match in 1967 was whether it impacted qualification for the 1968 European Championship, the injuries to England players who had been crocked by Scots during that match, and what state Wembley Stadium would be in afterwards. It is difficult to see why Scots get so excited about this result. Even with England having Jack Charlton crocked, they still only lost by the odd goal. Jim Baxter swaggering around, the McCalliog goal, and possibly even the Lennox goal, all took place when England had about eight fit men. It was England's first defeat in 20 matches. They were bound to slip up at some point. England gave West Germany their first defeat after the 1974 World Cup Final. So what? So what if England lost to Scotland in 1967. Next time Scotland came down to Wembley, they got their arses handed to them on plates, as was becoming increasing the norm when the two sides played each other.

Check the replies to the comments and you’ll see plenty, it’s understandable that some people are agitated that their World Cup winning team was outplayed on their home turf but I thought it was a great game and England never gave up right to the end.

[@legandrydirk]

It was a fact its were the goal came from,he got into space that Hanley would have covered.England got lucky everybody knows it,including ex England captain Terry Butcher.Who is a proper Englishman,unlike the kind off trash that haunt these pages,a total gentleman.

[@raywade6034]

Celtic were 1967 European Cup winners. Did every Celtic player duck this game?

[@frankrush9718]

[@wullieman]

Knocked out in qualifiers 66. Or who knows who would of had bragging rights .

[@thevillaaston7811]

Yea, Scotland were robbed.

[@paulgreen6302]

When international s meant something.

[@colinfraser8317]

47:46, Bobby Moore is wondering what just happened, left looking very ordinary

[@thevillaaston7811]

Probably because the Scots had crocked Jack Charlton ealy in the match - a normal Scottish tactic when they played England at that time.

[@wilmamcewan3250]

53:13 Alan Ball

[@raywade6034]

It was great for skill because teams allowed the opposition to play through; up to the penalty area, where interventions were brutal (see Banks and Stiles take out Law at 40:00). A few world-class players on show here but special praise for Dennis Law. I believe that he submitted to a knee operation within a year and never got his mojo back.

[@sansoucci5394]

As Club football teams become more" international" with regards to players, International matches are beginning to lose their significance.At one time every team in England had . season after season, a backbone of very good Scottish players.Now the Scotland international team is the laughing stock of the World,and many Scots players dont even want to play for it. and very few good Scots ( or Brits) play for the top English teams.

[@kitswithkaren5003]

11 against 9 able-bodied players not a true result.

[@dennisclancy6729]

By plane in67 don't think so. Jack broke his toe. What about Bobby Smith breaking caldows leg when baxter scored 2 in 63 we did play with ten men an d beat yoyy lot

[@thevillaaston7811]

'What about Bobby Smith breaking caldows leg when baxter scored 2 in 63 we did play with ten men an d beat yoyy lot' So what? England have claimed what about this match?

[@lobbdaniel]

Look ahead to 1970, and the British national squad, as follows: Goal: Babks Defence: Gemmell Moore McNeill Cooper Midfield: Law R. Charlton Peters Forwards: J. Johnstone Hurst Best Substitutes: Lennox Murdoch Mullery Ball Britain would win easily.

[@joejoe7702]

Wisdomy Great team! If only...

[@jaspercasper9195]

Not so many great Scottish players today

Not many? More like none.

[@paulgreen6302]

Played off the park couldn't get started England.

[@thevillaaston7811]

'Played off the park' Not really...

[@Staralfur101]

[@Tigerland1962]

+Johnny Mara dream on you thick scot.... have a great summer 2016, not in the Euro's... what a surprise.

[@efilrekib4446]

I had a great summer "bye the way" laughing at all the thick bragging English Bawbags getting gubbed & going home with your tail between your legs. Before you start us Scots know our team are shite, but we accept that & still support them, the English on the other hand are so full of it about being the best. Now you are heading towards the 2018 World Cup thinking you are invincible but heading for another fall with everyone else laughing at you & your thick trouble making supporters.

[@malcolm9650]

Efil Rekib well said pal👍

[@albion2742]

Dont happen often though.

[@albion2742]

Johnny Mara, dId you see the May 1975 game on here. 5-1

[@White17860]

lol @Bob Moore,,grasping at straws what are you 12 years of age mate lol

[@ernestikomi4923]

Alex Ferguson couldn't even play this one ? What kind of striker was he ?

[@hughgilchrist5463]

Very fiery he got a few booking in his day while at Rangers I remember he got 6 weeks suspension when at Falkirk he nearly brought the players out on strike which was unheard of then he showed his managerial awareness in a game against Aberdeen they were playing offside trap but it was Fergie who got the player’s together to beat it and Falkirk ended up winning 3-2 so even then he had a good eye for football and every team he manage was successful

[@dantheman9228]

hot headed always getting into trouble but he was not a bad player but he was not the best either,turned out to be a better manager

[@wonjubhoy]

All he won was a 2nd division title with falkirk. His playing career wasn't up to much.

[@maconescotland8996]

@@wonjubhoy Fergie's biggest mistake as a player was leaving Dunfermline for Rangers for a then Scottish club record transfer fee. He was a prolific scorer during his spell at East End Park - joint top league scorer with Joe McBride of Motherwell one season.
