Scotland 0-2 England (1980)

Goals from Trevor Brooking and Steve Coppell gave England a 2-0 victory at Hampden Park in May 1980. Unusually neither side can win the Home International Championship going into the game, with Northern Ireland having already clinched the title. A couple of key refereeing decisions go England's way as they make it three successive wins against the Scots.

Sad to see recent passing of Ray Clemence and Paul Mariner. Hard to believe this match was forty years ago. Time waits for no man.

I don't recognise this game where was the rolling about after being tackled ? Absolutely no diving at all ? And for the life of me there was no kneeling to terrorist organisation before the game what was going on in those days ?

[@bareknuckles2u]

Kneeling to a terrorist organization? WTF?

[@chortlerguffaw]

Could never understand why the Scots never selected a trained goalkeeper

[@chortlerguffaw]

It’s a shame Scotland gave up supplying a national team.

Dalglish was out of this world. Easily up there with the worlds best. Also, names on shirts in 1980?? Football was better then, better balls,better kits,better fans, no play acting,no stupid fucking celebrations, black boots. Supporting football and the Matchdays have declined so much nowadays to the point were you're treated like some camp inmate,being told to sit down,don't swear,no smoking. Football is just as PC as every other walk of life nowadays when then it was a release from the strain of work and school, I'm not advocating or condoning racism or hooliganism in anyway here as tribalism and hooliganism are two different things. Now the greedy bastards at the FA are scratching their weaves saying why has the FA Cup lost its grandeur? Playing semis at Wembley for a start has made a massive dent in its prestige! Too many women who obviously haven't got a clue but have read it's "trendy" to go to football now attend games now and they look at you like you have 5 heads when you get behind the lads or question the refs parentage, sexist? So what it's true!

[@sunnyjim1355]

As for names on shirts, I couldn't agree more; football started going down hill when the old tradition (when just being privileged with a number was enough of a honour) was dispensed. Even without the players having their names on the shirts, we knew who they were because they'd already earned the right to be known to us.

[@billb3410]

What I liked about the players in the early days of footy, was they never complained or surrounded the ref. They were hard men who just got on with the game. Some very skillful players, Dalglish was excellent.

[@sunnyjim1355]

Agreed. Case in point being at 4:15 - terrible decision to rule that the ball had gone out of play, yet not a word in protest.

Brooking was in a purple patch having just scored the winner in the Cup Final the week before.

[@yossiallen3316]

Like a Sunday league game there. The British were always far more physical in their game but have always lacked technical skillset. Even a back heel was exotic in those days.

[@pintofkimberley]

Yet English clubs were in a purple patch in European competitions, using British players.

[@yossiallen3316]

@@pintofkimberley A Euro or a FIFA World Cup isn't a competition without England simply due to the entertainment aspect. The English have always provided the atmosphere that the sterile Germans simply lack.

[@johnp515]

Is this one of the first instances of footballers wearing their names on the back of their shirts? It's ubiquitous today of course, but I don't remember ever seeing it as early as 1980.

Seeing it side by side with 'no names' makes you realise what a bad idea it was/is.

Only one forest player in these two team at a time when they won 2 European cups .... appalling.

[@kailashpatel1706]

How better tactical management and squad selection by Greenwood could have helped here...Viv Anderson should have displaced Phil Neal from the right back slot, Francis played on top with Mariner used more effectively but also other changes could have been wrought, players like Regis, Cowans, Statham, Morley, Hoddle, Devonshire and Morley properly integrated into a real team with counter attacking abilities..
