England 1-2 Scotland, International 1977 (Wembley pitch invasion) 

Especially poignant with the recent passing of the first goalscorer, the legendary Gordon McQueen....Rest In Peace, Big Man!!😢

Now THAT is what I call proper football, no rolling around feigning injury. How I miss those days.

I love how the ref doesn't blow his whistle everytime a player goes down , and the players are straight back up on their feet. Old school footie is awesome.

In South America , Scotland is a beloved country . The Scot is very passionate fan , as the South American fan.

back in the day when even chessington zoo could afford advertising boards around the pitch.

Neymar broke his leg after watching this video... (sorry about my inglish i'm chilean)

I am Argentine and a fan of the Scottish national team. It is a beautiful nation and an incredible people

I was in primary school when this game was played. The annual England, Scotland fixture were along with the Cup final were the only matches shown live and the build up was incredible . It's so heartbreaking to see how many of these fine players of my childhood we've lost. May they all RIP.

There’s about 10 red cards in this footage if you applied today’s poncey refereeing standards

Great football, great strips, great atmosphere, no goalie gloves, no sponsors plastered everywhere, hard but fair tackles allowed, this is why we miss the old days.

It’s hard to fathom that Scotland were the away country, like a home game, so great to watch

What always amazes me is the amount of tackles flying in without even a freekick. In the modern game they would be straight red cards. How things have changed.

I was eleven in 1977 and MAD on football (grew out of it around 1986-87 when I moved from the North to the South West). I realise the game is faster now, goals are amazing, defenders are better, skills are amazing, players are way way fitter.....but here I am, watching this having not been interested in modern football for at least two decades, utterly compelled again because of Motson's voice, the players' names I remember so well and the characters, the physicality of it all and how visceral it was both on and off the pitch. The occasion, the atmosphere in those days was sooo HUGE. Going to football matches and being in a crowd like that are memories to cherish. Dare as I say, being an England fan as a child back in the day (not now, couldn't give a shit), I was GLUED to the screen when this was on BBC1 that day....but the only thing I can remember is the crossbar snapping. Ha ha sorry!

the 70s - the the days when footballers didn't jump and cry every 30 seconds for a free kick, and didn't advertise for big brand aftershave and supermarket chains on tv to fund their second house and fourth swimming pool?

Modern day players would have spent the whole of this match rolling about on the ground .

One of the greatest days of my life ...I cried I screamed .......got pasted at school on Monday I lived in England....but it was all worth it

having studied in Scotland, the only thing I can say is that Scotland and the Scots are great. Nikos, Greece.

Some team Scotland had back then. Sad how far we've fallen

Without doubt the best football trip of my life. Sad to say that there is only of the 6 of us three still alive that made that weekend so memorable! And the bugle I still have!!!

when the crossbar snaps always makes me laugh

Legend has it, the post match sesh still goes on till this very day...

This result is made all the more miraculous given that Dalglish was denied a stonewall penalty and the ref awarded England a penalty late on despite it being a clear dive.

Great game, tough game, proper football. Dalglish should have got a penalty, not sure about the England one. I remember seeing this and feeling gutted at the end but a great Scottish team.

8:40 "the scene is so typically Scottish" lol

Whenever he had a chance to see, he rooted for Scotland. I have always liked Scottish football. Brazilian word.

Bring back this tournament it would do all home nations good and the T.V. money would be massive!

Im very impressed with the pace of this match the passing and how quick both teams move the ball

Watching this in a nostalgic way remembering my father taking me down to my first Wembley oh what a weekend what a result what a team never to be forgotten thanks dad I was only 14 but he took me and we made it through a crazy weekend of madness also went back in 79 we got pumped that year 🙈 subway on strike on way home but still they couldn’t break us walk back into London unbelievable every inch covered in tartan maybe just maybe might just get a result this time Scotland ps still got the grass 🦁

Soy argentino, pero que lindo es ver ganar a mi querida ESCOCIA, aunque sea un partido en donde yo nisiquiera había nacido!!

A worrying lack of social- distancing going on at the end there.

It seems they were playing in Scotland. It is so amazing to see how proud are the Scottish, their pure love for their beautiful land. We do not have this in Italy, Italy for centuries was prevented by Catholic Church to become a united country and now we see the result of this: an "accrocco" of different counties with nothing to share but indifference when not hate. So impressive is to see the pride of Scottish as well as English, Irish, Welsh people. When they are in a stadium, it is fantastic to see and listen to them. Greetings from Rome Italy. March 2020

The Great Old days. Great Team, Great pitch invasion. Proper Fitba m'lud.

From an england fan here, the jocks were great supporters, totally outnumbered england back in the day. Used to love the old home internationals, hated it when they run riot thou. Turf , crossbar etc etc, those tartan boys knew how to party lol

Thanks for posting, great.

Escocia,fútbol europeo, pasión latina,siempre me gustó su fútbol, quizás, no por lo que veía, sino, por sus ganas, los jugadores meten,así, es el fútbol, se cómo si fueras el mejor,y con Inglaterra,ellos mucho más; gracias x subirlo.........

This was back when football players were not over paid and ticket prices were cheaper more passion then 🚜🚜🚜🚜💙

salute from Brazil .......

Fast paced game. 9 minutes and 23 seconds of these highlights would be taken up with diving bollox and VAR tripe in a modern match.

thanks for posting this. x

The reaction to the tackle by McQueen on Channon shows just how much times have changed. If that happened today, the players would be all over the ref, clamouring for a red card. As it was, only a foul given and Channon just walking away as if it was just part and parcel of the game then- which it was.

Que festa foi essa? Futebol raiz, torcida invadindo o gramado e comemorando, sensacional!! Haha

OMG - proper football!

At the end of 1975 England lost Colin Bell forever through injury. He was such a great key player, I don't think the team had recovered even here, 18 months or so later.

Iconic scenes. Alcohol and football

Fantastic Dalglish!

Look how much more physical players were, how much more strength and pride they went into trying to win possession. 6:05-6:11 is such a great example of this you just don't see players doing that kind of work anymore.

I was 6 years old and remember watching it, still makes me smile ha ha🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤣

Even now it hasn't lost its glamour. This was the beautiful game.

GREAT MATCH! THANK YOU DEAR

I remember this day so well,me and my brother were brought up in England to Scottish family but the lion rampant flew outside our front door in Southampton. What a team!

love those replay effects

A Scotsman recently confessed that they only go to the world cup for the booze!! They expect not to go any further than the group stages!! Hey it's frustrating being English because every time we go we expect to win!! Maybe next time?? You gotta love it bring back the Home Championships they were bloody fantastic!!!

Beautiful ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪 best fans in the world

Back when Scotland really did have some world class players. Also: I miss John Motson.

Brings to mind the Frankie Boyle quite about demolishing Wembley! “Cost you’s £100 million to demolish Wembley?! If you’d played your last game against Scotland we’d have done it for nothing”

I was there and a couple of Scottish fans saved the day . One of the big internal gates was locked. These 2 guys were working at Wembley, so they consulted the police and got their welding stuff from nearby and cut the hinges from the gates. In next to no time we were all in safely and peacefully. I always remember this because when I got back into London that evening I experienced my 1st £1 pint! When I questioned this I was informed it was due to the late Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Gawd Bless her.

Ah, such fond memories... I remember it well. I just wonder if Scotland will ever have such a fine team (and fervent support) again. Brilliant while it lasted, though.

Fair play the jocks had some top players and their fans did the business. Back in the day before money foreigners and women destroyed our game.

Cerveza toda la noche !!! Fue increible estar con mi familia en ese partido.

When I was young and in Scotland I met this guy that had som of the turf , very well kept, on which Scotland had won, at his home.

Remember watching this as a kid of 7. I asked my dad what all those people were doing. He replied " they are wild sottish men from a country called Scotland " i was scared of them for the next 35 years till i went to work for a couple o weeks in Dunfermline and had a great time there 🤗🤗🤗💖

The goal posts breaking is such an iconic moment! Great pitch invasion by passionate Scots, and NO trouble or arrests! Like the Irish, they know how to drink, party and stay from trouble.

I was about 11.yrs old when i saw this and it was the best Eng v Scot game I'd seen, the game was great but the party put on by the Tartan Army was special ,it was like a bonus feature .lol.

Beautiful preciuos footage and great comments!!!! I love vintage football, anyway.

got to be said.....Scotland must have been a top top side back then because to win any games with Alan Rough in goals was to me a flaming miracle!

I love to see the fans so happy :) Well Done Scotland, - from Great Britain . x

2 great teams with many good players. And 2 of the best supporters in the world : always fantastics

Well yeah, a souvenir you know...#goal Greetz from the Belgian brothers! You liberated my town, full respect!

It's pathetic how England 2021 side are worse than this 1977 team.

I do not understand. If it was at Wembley, why were there only scottish fans in the stadium ?

“The scenes so typically Scottish” 😂

Saturday 4 June 1977 was the start of the long Spring Bank (put back by 1 week in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and put back by 5 weeks in Scotland too all in 1977) Holiday and Silver Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend combined when the England v Scotland home international at Wembley was played, this with John Motson the commentator here for the BBC which i remember very well watching this on BBC1, with my two older brothers cheering on England, while me and my late dad (who has Scottish ancestry) cheering on Scotland. I remember me (then 8 years old) and my dad having a good laugh after full time when Scotland won, and the Scottish fans celebrated victory by invading the pitch, digging up the Wembley turf and breaking the crossbar on one side of the pitch as it happens. My two older brothers were not pleased that England lost, but me (the youngest of three brothers and all three siblings altogether, no sisters) and my dad were pleased and happy that Scotland won on that day itself !

they invaded the pitch 10 years and now they are here again!

Oh you've got to love the passion here so much better than the plastic rubbish of the EPL today.

Bring back the home internationals this game as I remember was always a week after the cup final and on both sides the good old days.

What a great game I was only eleven when it was played but watching it again makes the hair on my head stand up.

Meu Deus os Escoceses são hiper fanáticos, dessa eu não sabia 😱

Anyone besides me watching this in antioption of the England vs Scotland match today in Euro 2020?

My uncle was on that pitch invasion. He brought home a wee bit of Wembley turf. Happy days.

Remember half of the pitch came back to Scotland most of the gardens in Scotland have a piece of Wembley hilarious Scotland the Brave love to go back to this passion for Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I was 10 and watched it with my dad.

Willy Johnstone smashes right into a camera guy at 4:55 hahaha

Stone wall penalty by Mills on Dalglish! Can imagine the tantrums if in today's games! Hard tackles going in too and not always getting the ball first. Glory days.

When futbol.was so bountiful....great win...I was born 2 years after. Wao saludos

Cuando Escocia fue local en Wembley, perdón siempre ha sido y será local en Wembley. Saludos.

scotland had a fantastic team,in the 70s,80s,you new all the players name,and football club they played for,now in 2016,only about 3,or four,and had a good football kit,compared, to todays one

The build-up play for Scotland's second goal *really was* to me astounding. Both today and in those days' as well.

Remember watching this live on TV, a great day out. Someone said once that the spot where Dalglish scored was dug up and someone was selling it. A tale from years ago.

When every Scottish fan loved there national team.

gotta love wembley invasion, remember we play them at new wembley later this year ;)

Scotland were favourites. Genuinely world class players throughout.

Gordon MC absolutely a legend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Broke the posts like nothing. 😊 Nowadays medias would make a big scandal out of that 😂

Frightening how good that Scotland team were. So sad to see where we are now

And this would have been on BBC1 at 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon. Different times indeed!

great stuff

Remember me and my Irish parents watching this in Shepherd's Bush which is not too far rom Wembley. My father supported whoever England were playing. Shame you didn't see the bit when they carried the broken goalposts away with them. Scattered over Scotland must be bits of wood and netting . Someone must still have ,right?

What a great moment for Scottish football! I long for these days again.

Glad to see the game again. Thanks for posting.My recollection watching it in my Manchester University days in the television room (!)was that it was pretty awful but condensed to a few minutes always makes things look better. Scotland much the better side but in modern parlance, Don Revie had clearly lost the dressing room. Certainly I regretted not joining my dad at the cricketing Old Trafford to see Colin Croft bowl Boycott all ends up for a duck. The resident policeman danced a jig shouting “ I’ve waited all my life for this”. Sorry for the cricket digression. Every first division (Premier League for younger viewers) manager used to be there in those days at that fixture except the best of them, Bob Paisley who used to go to the races at Haydock Park.

love a good pitch invasion and a brilliant Scotland win
