RARE ENGLAND V SCOTLAND MATCHDAY PROGRAMME FROM 'THAT MATCH' IN 1967 the printed programmed reading 'Football Association International Match European Championship Henri Delaunay Cup - Qualifying Tie Saturday, April 15th, 1967 Kick-Off 3pm', held at Wembley Empire Stadium and the programme cost one shilling, 23cm long, 15cm wide Note: The match, a qualifying tie for the Henri Delaunay Cup, played on April 15th 1967 is Scotland's most famous victory against England. England had won the 1966 FIFA World Cup at Wembley less than a year previously and were undefeated in nineteen games. Despite fielding four of the Celtic side that had just won the 1967 European Cup Final and stars such as Denis Law, Jim Baxter and Billy Bremner, Scotland were massive underdogs. Scotland took an early lead through a goal by Law, and Bobby Lennox put Scotland 2-0 up with just 12 minutes remaining. England were somewhat hampered by the fact that Jack Charlton suffered an injury early in the game. England manager Alf Ramsey was unable to substitute Charlton and therefore decided to use him in the unfamiliar role of centre forward. Ironically, Charlton scored England's first goal. Scotland soon established a two goal lead with Jim McCalliog making the score 3-1. Geoff Hurst scored a late goal to make the final score 3-2 to Scotland. Baxter memorably played ''keepie uppie'' as Scotland toyed with their opponents late in the game. The Scots playfully claimed afterwards that the victory made them unofficial world champions. Ultimately however it was England who qualified for the 1968 European Championship because of results in the other matches.
