The 1960s heralded a golden age of players who wore the dark blue
of Scotland. Law, Gilzean, Baxter, Greig and Johnstone are just
some of the names still familiar to supporters today. Bookended by
heavy defeats against the Auld Enemy, the decade witnessed just one
other defeat in the annual fixture against England and contained
both the most-celebrated and horrific of Wembley encounters. The
'60s also included a brief spell with Jock Stein as manager and the
only Scotland international to date to be decided in extra time.
Valiant but ultimately failed World Cup campaigns included
memorable matches against Italy, West Germany and Czechoslovakia;
an embarrassing loss to the amateurs of Norway was offset by a
six-goal spree in Spain a matter of days later. Set against the
backdrop of the Swinging Sixties, Scotland in the 60s looks at each
of the 64 matches played by the national side during the period and
the consequences of those results. Extensive newspaper and video
archive research is complemented by the memories of the players who
took part and the reminiscences of supporters and journalists who
were there.
