Description
Scotland 74: A World Cup Story by Richard Gordon The 1974 World Cup Finals in West Germany will forever be remembered as a missed opportunity for Scotland. This book tells the story of how, despite boasting a talented squad, Scotland failed to reach the latter stages of the tournament. A team of household names, including Billy Bremner, Kenny Dalglish and Denis Law, were part of the Scotland squad that was expected to make a deep run in the competition. However, a combination of factors, including a shocking start to manager Willie Ormond's reign and frequent player indiscipline, ultimately led to their downfall. Drawing on archive reports and the memories of those involved, this book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the World Cup Finals and the heartbreak that followed.
