Apparently, it was in 1966. Why has nobody talked about this?

They were so embarrassed at being beaten by a country with such a small population they barely ever mentioned their WC victory in 1966 ever again.

As i recall, ramsay played greaves instead of hurst so he could claim we hadnt beaten the world cup side
The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits
The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game

Disallow that goal and they still won.

To be fair, it is being brought up less and less now. It's going from "we won it" to "it's embarrassing we haven't won it since then".

They really do have a horrendous record when compared to similar sized nations.

Still remember 1967 Scotland the unofficial World Champions
The Sunday Post had World Cup Willie wearing a kilt
Jim Baxter told the story that he kept calling Alan Ball Jimmy Clitheroe to wind him up

That commentary will likely bring a lot of joy to a lot of people at a time when it's needed the most.
Just like 2012 with Hearts, just like 2016 with us. At times like this a comfort blanket's perfectly OK.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

So will BBC have the balls to show the game in 1967 when the World Champions were humbled by the Wee Jocks ..... pleasing
Back in the day I would have fancied Scotland to win the World Cup at home. Well maybe no!

I'll never cheer on England but they still have the best World Cup song- World In Motion. Just my opinion though.

England are by far the least successful of the large populated nations in the world. Germany, Italy, Spain are much better with roughly the same populations.

'World in Motion' was barry too, mind. Have often changed the words to 'Scotland' or 'Hibernian'.
