Memories of games I saw on the telly, never actually going to a Scotland match until 1979 which I shall mention in this review. A mixture of fond and painful memories of us in the 74 and 78 world cup tournaments. Billy Bremner's miss, beaten by the 'old' men of Peru and Archie Gemmill's wonderful goal against Netherlands.
Great research for all our line ups and results during the decade including my first Scotland game at home to Argentina in 79, where a teenage Maradona stole the show.
Love it!
