Scotland 1967 Long Sleeve Retro Football Shirt

Scotland humbled England 1-5 at The  Empire Stadium in March1928 and Scotland became the 'Wembley Wizards'. 

And what a team: With a forward line of Alex Jackson (Huddersfield Town); James Dunn (Hibernian); Hughie Gallacher (Newcastle United); Alex James (Preston North End), and Alex Morton (Rangers). The 'Wee Blue Devils'.

49 years later Scotland, and Jim Baxter in particular, humbled England 2-3 at Wembley Stadium in April 1967 and Scotland became the 'unofficial World Champions'. 

And what a team: The Scotland and Rangers captain John Greig and his centre back partner Ronnie Mackinnon would both play for Rangers in the 1967 UEFA European Cup Winners Cup Final against Bayern Munich. Scotland Manager Bobby Brown handed an international debut to Celtic goalkeeper Ronnie Simpson who along with his fellow Celts in the Scotland team; Tommy Gemmell; Willie Wallace and Bobby Lennox, who scored Scotland's second goal, would all win the 1967 European Cup when  Celtic unlocked Internazionale Milan. Lisbon Lions all. Eddie McCreadie would play in the 1967 FA Cup Final for Chelsea. Billy Bremner would captain Leeds United in the 1967 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final against Dinamo Zagreb. 20 year old Jim MaCalliog was making his full international debut, scored Scotland's third goal at Wembley and had played and scored in the 1966 FA Cup Final for Sheffield Wednesday. Denis Law who opened the scoring that day at Wembley, was the 1964 Ballon d'Or winner, and was about to win the 1967 Football League Division One Championship with Manchester United. Sunderland's Jim Baxter ran the game. A true Rangers great 'Slim-Jim' tortured the Auld Enemy with a masterful display of fitba, including 'Keepie-Uppie', on the hallowed  turf against England at Wembley! Baxter's contribution was immortalised by Glyn Edwards writing in The Glasgow Herald at the time: "I shall cherish for a long time the memory of Baxter slowing down the game to almost walking pace, insouciantly juggling the ball with instep, forehead and knees while Stiles, no more than a couple of yards away, bobbed up and down, unsure whether to make his challenge at knee or head level".
