I recall watching this on tv as a boy and the neighbour upstairs brought back Wembley turf.😀

GET IT RIGHT UP YE, JIMMY HILL!!!!!!

Saturday 4 June 1977 when the England v Scotland Home International football match was held at Wembley stadium at the start of the long extended Silver Jubilee, and also delayed Spring Bank Holiday weekend up tae the end of the mini holiday that ended on Tuesday 7 June 1977, and i remember this game very well on the fact that there was an England and Scotland divide on my father's side of mae family. The game itself on Saturday 4 June 1977 was broadcast live on BBC1, i believe throughout the UK not just in both England and Scotland, but also in Wales and Northern Ireland tae. Mae English born Scottish father who had both Scottish born parents himself (mae Scots born paternal grandparents) and myself who was English born were both avid Scotland fans, and while mae and mae dad were loudly cheering on Scotland, both mae English born older brothers were cheering on England themselves. At the end when Scotland won, and Scotland fans at Wembley celebrated victory as if it was their World Cup final, beating the Auld Enemy by breaking the crossbar, digging up the turf, and invading the pitch, while mae two older brothers being England fans were brassed off and silent tae say the least, maeself and mae dad both proud Scotland supporters were jubilant and very happy tae see England getting beat. Great memories fae mae that day.

Spot the English fan at Wembley.

I'm English but i do have to say that it is pitiful what has happened to Scottish football. The Scottish team during this era was terrific and had some top top players in it. You only need look at the bench as well with Archie Gemmill, Kenny Burns and Lou Macari. I was nearly 10 the year after this game and Ally had even convinced me Scotland would win the world cup in '78 lol. Great side though.

Danny McGrain sorely missed at 78 w.cup. McQueen too.

Joe Jordan was a beast then and was still a beast at the end of his playing career, a great player.

That referee was biased against the Scots, he gave so many silly little fouls against them and ignored the blatant fouls and penalty claim for the Scots

Thanks for puttung these games up pal

Remember this one very well. A mate of mine from Kilbirnie had a bit of Wembley turf growing in a pot on his window sill, and a splinter of one of the goal posts.

thank you

Brill. Classic football days. I was 2 back then but have heard the storys of that day and bits of turf in gardens all over Scotland.

We need this championship again.

Great upload. I remember watching this. I forgot how many non international class players England had. Brian Talbot, Stuart Pearson, Trevor Cherry, Brian Greenhoff, Mick Mills at left back non of which were good enough at this level.

Umm Mick Mills CAPTAINED England and won 42 Caps! It was not a Mike Brearley situation, either! Talbot six Caps. Pearson 15 Caps for 5 goals. Cherry 27 Caps and was better than bloody Phil Neal!

Mills was not up to the highest international standards but a dependable, nice chap, leader in the dressing room etc, etc and some managers just love that sort of player. Significantly Mills made his debut for England against Yugoslavia in 1972 and had the misfortune to be up against 'The Magic Dragan' Dzajic who gave him a bit of a chasing and Ramsay never picked him again.

British Home Championship was discontinued after the 1983-84 competition. There were a number of reasons for the tournament's demise, including it being overshadowed by the World Cup and European Championships, falling attendances at all but the England v Scotland games, fixture congestion, the rise of hooliganism, the Troubles in Northern Ireland (civil unrest led to the 1980-81 competition being abandoned), and England's desire to play against 'stronger' teams. The fate of the competition was settled when the (English) Football Association, swiftly followed by the Scottish Football Association, announced in 1983 that they would not be entering after the 1983-84 Championship. The British Home Championship trophy remains the property of the Irish FA, as Northern Ireland were the most recent champions. The Championship was replaced by the smaller Rous Cup, which involved just England, Scotland and, in later years, an invited guest team from South America. That competition, however, ended after just five years.

The first season hit by the Troubles was the 1969-70 season but didn't start to effect until the 1972-73 season when Northern Ireland had to play their home games in England and later on Northern Ireland games v Scotland were all played at Hampden Park

I was there, I'll never forget it. Travelled down by overnight train, spent the next morning sunbathing at the Embankment then made my way to Wembley. Met ex-Rangers Bobby Shearer outside the stadium and got his autograph.

Different football back then. No diving at first contact, no rolling around on the ground for 2-3 minutes in apparent agony just to jump up and keep playing.

Absolute tosh, the pitch was in pristine order (got the photos to prove it) but the groundsman refused to postpone the next match which was England - Germany schoolboys international 2 weeks later. Relaying a pitch is what they do repeatedly with the 'New' Wembley not the old. It also took a week to dig a couple of the posts out of the groud to replace them and that was 'good natured snozzled' was it?

How did Mills get a job?
