Publisher Description There are two kinds of people in this world.Those who insist that football is just a game, and those who know better.Take the April 1967 clash between England and Scotland. Wounded by their biggest rivals winning the World Cup just nine months earlier, Bobby Browns Scots travelled to Wembley on the mother of allmissions.Win and they would take a huge step towards qualifying for the 1968 European Championship, end Englands formidable 19-game unbeaten streak, and, best of all, put Sir Alf Ramseys men firmly back in their box.
