England 3-1 Scotland (1971) 

Aa a 16 year old I was working at the Greyhound pub, by Wembley Triangle. A Scot gave me a ticket at ten to three. I ran up to the stadium getting in just in time for Peters goal, although I did not see it. Two Scots finally made room for me on their cases of beer and I graciously accepted beers without opening my mouth, but as a Spurs supporter I could not contain myself when Chivers, hit the net. I expected to get the crap beaten out of me, instead they congratulated me and gave me another beer. Hooray for the Scots

They should have refurbished Wembley not made that ridiculous arched monstrosity, Wembley was instantly recognisable throughout the world now just like any other pitch, shame...

fantastic football era and there was no multi sidewards and backwards passing hogging the ball for minutes at a time without even crossing the halfway line. football as it was meant to be played

I speak as a Scotland fan, big Martin shoulda had a hat trick, that was never offside, where's VAR when you need it lol?

There was nothing like the old Wembley stadium, it just looked iconic and held so much history. I guess it would have been too expensive to just refurbish it. You’d have thought that the architects could have designed something better for the replacement.

How is it possible for the linesman to not see that the first goal is not over the line? It should have been a penalty not a goal.

Fantastic games they should never have gotten rid of the Home Nations, These lads all played with pride and for the love of their Nations. I was lucky to meet some of them when I worked in the game. Alan Ball was my favourite player.

WHEN GOOD BEATS EVIL ITS FANTASTIC

Chivers and Lee, the bollocks.

that first one didn't go in! it was handball by the man on the line but it didn't go in!

When they thought about rebuilding the new stadium why didn't they ensure the changing rooms were kept at the end of the stadium in order for the players to walk the length of the pitch? This was all part of the iconic Wembley and is sorely missed and obviously it was designed by a non football supporter who knew nothing of why the old Wembley was so iconic!

The previous season England were very fortunate to escape with a scoreless draw at Hampden Park but this time around at Wembley England confirmed their superiority over Scotland with an emphatic 3-1 victory at Wembley in this 1971 Home Championship match. The visitors had hoped to repeat their sensational 3-2 victory over the then world champions four years back at the same venue but their hopes were dashed with Martin Chivers scoring a brace and Martin Peters the other.

Curran got a touch Jimmy!

Proper football.

No anti-Celtic feeling at the SFA in them days eh....Celtic bang in the middle of 9 in a row a year after a second appearance in the European Cup Final and they've only got Jinky in the line up. Good to see England tonking the sweaties though

Francis Lee was the best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 player at this time.

what a disgrace all those scots in our sacred ground

Great example of diversity,English on one side and Scottish on the other,🤔🤔🤔🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤔🤔

gottal love the "egg" shaped ball here..rollin around clumsily..... wow..... why did they allow it???

Peters goal never went in ..?

oh why are we so good?

Nightmare performance by the Scots - could have been five or six for England.

Peters goal wtf. Its not even close ,should be a penalty.

We wiz robbed first one never a goal I demand a replay! 😀

This is a lie! England only ever beat Scotland once, in 1889 and that was with a flukey ricochet off the refs back side!

Used to love the England/Scotland games when growing up. Great times

I was born on May 12th 1971 and this game was live on tv shortly after my birth. My mother said she would name me after the first England player to score but after Martin Peters scored she said she didn't like that name and so she would name me after the next England player to score, when Martin Chivers scored she still wasn't sure, until he scored again to seal the deal, it was therefore ordained and I was to be called Martin. This is the first time I have ever watched this game and I am thankful that Franny Lee never scored😂

From a Scotland point of view , there seemed to be an over reliance on Anglo-Scots during this period - the assumption from the Scottish manager ( Bobby Brown ) being that if the Scottish player played in England therefore should be better than the Scot playing in his own league , which was nonsense . Tony Green and Hugh Curran were decent enough players , but no better that the likes of Rangers' Colin Stein and Celtic's Kenny Dalglish.

When real football fans went to the match with a shirt and tie....

Bobby Clark was on the end of a few hammerings in goal for Scotland

Chiv was a class act.

Chivers made a career out of scoring in games that didn't matter & going missing when the pressure was on

Fantastic shirts both England and Scotland.

Love the Scots No 9 barges into banks and ends up on his arse!

How come Leeds's silky smooth operator Allan Clarke and Derby's goal scoring phenomenon that was Kevin Hector never won more caps for England than they did?

Scottish defensive and goalkeeping masterclass.

Christ, but we were shite that day.

Wembley was a great stadium back then

GREAT GAME TRYING TO FIND VIDEO OF THIS GAME TO PURCHASE UNABLE TO FIND AS OF YET

CHIVAS CHIVAS

Not our best moment

The GK Bobby Clark great for Aberdeen but murder for Scotland

I never realised that ITV had coverage of this game as well.

Did the first goal cross the line?

Pourquoi le gardien de but écossais n'était jamais celui du celtic ou des rangers, alors que ces équipes avaient un très bon niveau européen ?

Scotland were robbed.
