Description
The April 1967 clash between England and Scotland was a defining moment in the rebirth of a nation. Wounded by their biggest rivals winning the World Cup just nine months earlier, Bobby Brown's Scots travelled to Wembley with a mission to win and put Sir Alf Ramsey's men firmly back in their box. This book explores a crucial ninety minutes in Scottish history, delving into the emotional and social context of that fateful day. Michael McEwan examines how the outcome of the match influenced the trajectory of Scotland's national identity, and whether England's World Cup victory was a turning point in the country's journey towards independence.
