Do you long for the good old days, when England went into a qualifying competition absolutely convinced that they would stuff every team by at least four goals? Do you despair when an England captain goes into a game against a team like Andorra and claims that they’re scared of losing? (Admittedly the captain is John Terry and he’s barely worth that title). Let’s face it, there isn’t a single team in the Sheffield Saturday leagues that wouldn’t beat Andorra home or away. One of Andorra’s centre-backs was a 37-year old that doesn’t even play football any more – he’s the club’s sporting director, and yet England still couldn’t find a way past him.
In the interests of making England fans feel better, I managed to find a YouTube clip of England stuffing one of the minnows of world football. On 24th May 1975, a rampant England side bulldozed through the Scottish defence at Wembley, winning 5-1 in a Home Championship international.
Watch the match, have fun, and think of better times …
