I hitch-hiked from the south of France (where I was teaching) all the way home to see this game (and Bayern Munich v St Etienne in the European Cup Final a few days earlier). And then I hitched it back. Worth every wait and every discomfort, beating the English was the pinnacle back then!
I was 8 years old and that was the day I fell in love with the Sottish national side. I've had many days to bitterly regret that since, but I wouldn't change a thing :-)
I was there ! I was 11 years old high up on that old KIng's Park end terracing. Atmosphere was brilliant. 85,000 crowd still the biggest I have been in at any football match. Had a great view of King Kenny;s winner put through through Clemence's legs.
those were the days when football was football for real, and stars were stars for real. Back then, players used to play with their hearts, and please if you know football, watch how great their individual skills and how tough they were. Messi or Ronaldo in those days would not even make it to the bench because they would not be good enough to match the skills of any of those 70's giants.
I also I was there , . Flower of Scotland lyrics was printed in the daily record that sat ,., cd be wrong but I think first time song was sung at a Scotland game . Rangers end wd be covered in dust , whenever Scotland scored . Hampden was a pig sty but it was our pig sty 💕
