Great to see Scotland lift some silverware. Richard Gough was one of Britain’s all time great defenders at both right back and centre half. Few could match his class, consistency and will to win.
I remember being at this game with my younger brothers. We had tickets for the schoolboys enclosure, but managed to get into the terracing right at the tunnel. The ‘official’ attendance was 90,000+ but, as is tradition, at least another 15 to 20,000 got in without a ticket by slipping the corrupt turnstile workers a tenner. Good goal, good game, good result, goodnight!
I'm afraid the Hampden capacity was a actually pegged at 74.000 by this time. I was at this game and it wasn't full. You must be thinking of another game.
The official attendance was 66,439. It was a poor attendance, even allowing for the usual discrepancies. I don't know anyone who gave any turnstile guy £10 in 1985 !!!!
I am not Scottish. I am English, but I understand the passion of this fixture. The Hampden roar had an atmosphere all of it's own. Back then Hampden had a capacity well in excess of 100,000. I believe now it has a lower capacity? If only the FA and the SFA used this fixture as a pipe opener to their domestic seasons? For example, hold it Hampden one year, then alternate it to Wembley the following year?
England could pick their 3rd choice for every position and still be as good as Scotland on paper but we have done well against England for a nation of only 5 million, England have actually under achieved in the past 20 years considering the players they have.
For sure , but the gap's clearly wider between to the 2 national sides now. For example , most current England players are Champions league regulars playing for some of Europe's top clubs . No longer the case for Scotland , far from it unfortunately.
It’s because England have mostly played as a bunch of individuals and not as a team! Too many egotistical undisciplined players have cost them games against technically weaker sides.
embarrassing to be Scottish with those chants directed at Viv Anderson and John Barnes - such great players - so much for us scots being the greatest fans in the world!!!

As an Aberdeen supporter this brings memories back. This match was won on the back of Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen victorious 5 years when they won 4 leagues, 3 Scottish Cups the League Cup and the European Cup final against Real Madrid 2-1. The Scottish players in this game against England? Here goes. Alex McLeish (No 5) Willie Miller (No 6) Jim Leighton in goal. That was the foundation and should never be under estimated and the reason for Aberdeen's successes. Add Gordon Strachan ex Aberdeen with Man Utd and Jim Bett ex Aberdeen with Lokeren stalwarts for an Aberdeen side. All thanks to Alex Ferguson and also to Jock Stein Scotland's manager at the time. The Aberdeen and Celtic influence was significant. Dundee Utd's Malpas and Gough were huge as well. And Aberdeen and Dundee Utd were actually called The New Firm. Alas it didn't last long. Money men took over in Glasgow and Celtic and Rangers have dominated ever since.
Im Scottish though and i was only 11 years old back then, but i do remember a lot of things about that day it was the first big football game i had really been to i had been to the Scotland v Wales game earlier that year but this was massive compared to that game, and the England fans did know they were going in the Scotland end but they all wanted out after the trouble broke out.
I boarded a coach at midnight on the Friday at Southampton and arrived in Glasgow at 10am after stopping at Carlisle Services. Big Saints Union Jack flag on display at the back of the coach and received dog's abuse from Jocks. Fair to say it was a character building trip apart from the prematch drink in the Rangers Social Club who treated us amazingly well. I had a seat in the main stand and met Lou Macari who was sat near me. My mate a terrace ticket behind the goal and had the smelly brown stuff kicked out of him all of the match !
this was the first scotland v england game i ever watched. and it was all about to go pear shaped after the heysel disaster and half of this england team ended up playing for rangers during the european ban. i also had the scotland replica kits both home and away.
The Heysel tragedy happened only four days after this game was played. The 1985 Scotland v England game was originally meant to be at Wembley but was moved to Hampden as the authorities in London were worried about the chances of crowd trouble during what was a bank holiday weekend. There were several serious incidents of hooliganism at matches in England during the early months of 1985 which culminated in the Heysel riot.
Thanks for making me watch this again,if only to remember what great players Gough and Bett were.I never heard anything that you claim.Sad how you want to label us with your brush.The day your fans win a fair play award,come back and speak to me.
Loved watching this and all the '80s legends. And these were the guys who managed to make the team for their respective countries. There were great players who struggled to get near the squads.
The England fans were eventually let out by the police onto the track and they were either moved to another part of the ground or sent out of the ground. But there had been some things said to some England fans going into the ground like why are you going into the Scotland end and asked if they were there to cause trouble but some of these fans went to another turnstiles and the reason i knew they were English was the voices and i saw a few England fans trying to hide their colours to get in.
I have very mixed emotions on this game delighted Scotland won and beat the auld enemy 1-0 but also on this day 25th May 1985 My Gran had died a few hours before kick off i was 12 years old at the time
I was at that game, they never mentioned the English hooligans who were up for a fight, they got tanked in Buchanan st and again in the Celtic end, they got a police escort out the ground, they had to get out, and that was before e game.
@@jm-np4mu In 1987 that was an England Super Firm that went up there, it was all proper lads from all over England and all the top boys and faces, were there from every single firm. Glasgow City centre was smashed to fuck and Scotland were either run ragged or got totally battered. It was bcus of England that the fixtures stopped cus they started turning out everytime and took it to a totally new level, it got pwopa nawty!! 😠😳
Game as fuck though going in your end and knowing they'd be massively, heavily outnumbered, it showed you on TV Scotland fans scattering, with England boys in the middle of them all. England were near the bottom of the terrace and then they kicked off not long after the match began and started wading in to the Scottish. They got cordoned off and yes they did need somewhat of an escort when they were eventually let out!!
@@jimgavin1726 What the fuck are you doing on here anyway you dickhead??!! Come across it by accident or sumat?!?! Grow up and stop crying and blubbing, you immature, shithead, whiney, thick tosser 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🖕🖕
Im from Scotland and John Barnes was not a Liverpool player at the time in 85 he joined in 87 and not that im saying that matters. And the trouble broke out because there was England fans in the Scotland end, but don't ask me how it all broke out because everything seemed fine and then it all kicked off for a while. But i remember before going in there was English fans coming in the Scotland end although i think the only reason they got it was because they covered up their England colours.
alanlfc1892 They never wore colours,same as some A,deen,Hibs,and other guys,it kicked off cos we were all next to each other,the police took the English hoolies out,cos there were Scots steaming in from all around,and a few hundred English ?
Chelsea and West Ham hoolies did that alot in that time, dress as the opposition to cause trouble in the home end.. they used the same tactic at Heysel, dressing as Liverpool fans before and during the match.
He says he is Scottish read his comments properly,so what your saying really is we cant support Liverpool?I write this in a Liverpool away top bye the way.So just like myself he also has Liverpool as his second team,just like so many other guys my age.So your saying all the England fans in our end that day were from Pool,seriously doubt that one.Ask Jamie Carrager what it meant to him playing for England,compared to playing for the reds in Europe or against top English sides,not even close
I have been watching English football since the early 80's and have always wondered how England has always had great left and right full backs often had mediocre national teams but always great full-backs it's a mystery to me
My god, there were different refereeing standards then. That tackle by Aitken on Anderson was the most obvious booking. Totally cynical, as even Roy himself seemed to acknowledge.
Only 2 of the Scottish starting line up played in England at that time, Strachan and David Speedie. There were 4 Aberdeen players and 2 Dundee United players in the starting 11.
Correct! But it wasn't today's game. Neymar would have spent about 85 minutes rolling on the ground screaming like a little girl. Aitken, Souness, Forsyth, McLeish, McQeen ect would be locked up nowadays. What a defence HMP Barlinnie would have 😂😂
1985 racism was strife stop milking a situation as disgusting as it was it was 30 years ago you tool! Now if it happened recently then I'd be with ya but seriously it happened throughout football back then!
MyRammy1 shite, you English want to stain us with your racist views anyway Scots from Glasgow are known as 90 minute bigots T an old firm match we are not known for being racist for colour of someone's skin, that's a English thing.
I agree with you as a Scotsman. Anyone denying this was shocking is a fucking idiot. We quite frankly had no black players up here at the time (that I can remember) so guys like Anderson & Barnes had to take an incredible amount of abuse. There was Mark Walters who signed for Rangers a few years later who was showered with bananas and was the victim of one of the most disgusting scenes of racism I've ever seen by Celtic fans & others (I'm a Celtic fan in case you think otherwise). Hitting 40 now but remember clearly how much of a joke directing abuse at black footballers was back then. Tarnished an otherwise magical footballing childhood for me.
am a rangers fan and hate england it annoys me when pepole say rangers support england most rangers support scotland rangers are scottish club not english am scottish to the core my country
next week when we paly england ill be celebrating any celtic player scoring against the old enemy if only you could say same about celtic fans who support republic of ireland
Bullshit why would the award winning Tartan Army disrespect our former captain Andrew Watson,who was a pioneer for black footballers a hundred years before Viv Anderson.
Well ive got to totally agree with you there and i think that it was most probably the reason it was more because it was Scotland v England than these fans actually being racist and even as a Scotland and a Liverpool fan off over 30 years there are good and bad in all so called fans.Even years ago i never knew much about what Munich meant but lived through Heysel and the Hillsborough disaster and if i ever here or see anything about Munich im the first to tell these idiots they are out of order.
If you are not Scottish you have no idea what those games meant. Pure and utter passion wrapped up in centuries of history against our rivals.
from Mexico I'm great fan of the National Scottish football team...
I don't know why... But I enjoyed see the matches between Scotland vs England... Are so passion and also good football..

Gracias amigo ❤👍
God bless you xxx
Jim Bett most underrated Scottish player of all time …. One of Ferguson’s greatest mistakes was not playing him in any games in the 86 World Cup .
Watched this on the TV as a kid. 35 years ago. Damn.
Proper stadium, fans, players and scotland/england kits.
Great to see Scotland lift some silverware. Richard Gough was one of Britain’s all time great defenders at both right back and centre half. Few could match his class, consistency and will to win.

Souness Strachan & Bett....what a midfield.
I was there. A friendly. The first derby, the first ever - the biggest game in the world.

Bas loser dude
Stop with this only 5 million crap, how big is Denmark's population ?
Perfect header by Gough.

freedom fighters wankstain
He got much more abuse from ENGLISH fans at home in what is now the Premier League , the London clubs were well known for it !
Pretty sure i've seen a photo of Barnes in a red Liverpool strip and some racist twat had thrown a banana at his feet.
Your bang on there , what a shame , sad to hear them chants from a nation that has respected every country , but in ENGLAND he got much worse

We won a cup!
Goal reminded me of Houghton's goal for ROI against England in Euro '88 . Ironically, another Scot getting the goal.
@Selinor578 Houghton was born in Scotland but his loyalties lay in Ireland. King Richard was born in Sweden but was a patriot to Scotland.
@@creagmac3017 so would you say Matt Holland's loyalties lay in Ireland?

Yip, when we could compete financially, before the greedy english took all the sky, bt money daan saaf.
@@Dinobaburas.😂😂😂😂😂😂 are you fckn kidding
Great positional play by Shilton again for the goal 😏
I went to this match Hampden was falling down then I know it's had a rebuild since but I haven't been since!
Shilton ne sortait jamais sur les balles aériennes,
On en a ici un parfait exemple.

Even better- motson and hill were commentating.
the rous cup only lasted 5 editions.1985-89.
Was in the enclosure nearest the rangers end that day, don't remember much as I was steaming drunk! Still enjoyed it 😁👍
I can identify with that.
Would LOVED to have been @ this fixture.
My first Scotland England game .
Very nice and brave game... So much passionión... Well done
And played Gordon Stracham!!! 😎 👏 👏 👏
As a Scot, really disappointed with the booing of England’s black players
How did Barnes not score that chance 4:08 from that perfect cross from Viv Anderson ?? He must’ve closed his eyes.
Quality
The booing of Viv Anderson is shameful.
Big roy at the back surprised any english player left the park in one piece
What a goal guys, what a goal, pure balls
Thanks for making me watch this again,if only to remember what great players Gough and Bett were.I never heard anything that you claim.Sad how you want to label us with your brush.The day your fans win a fair play award,come back and speak to me.
Wis mesmerised by this cup as a young un.. Looks like a pure golden fc cup
Rous-ing!
I was at this game and in the main stand to.
ANy one of those players from either side would be worth at least 20m in todays transfer market.
Loved watching this and all the '80s legends. And these were the guys who managed to make the team for their respective countries. There were great players who struggled to get near the squads.
I was there in the main stand that day
Loads of trouble in Edinburgh with this game 😅. Was it not after this game or possibly the next one that the fixture was stopped coz of the trouble ?
I think the end of home championships was the start of UK breaking up. We have no shared league. Or much in common with sport anymore.
The uk hasn't broke up tho and isnt going to anytime soon
I'd forgotten about those ridiculous shorts with the big blue band round them.
As my Granny said at the time , "looks like Scotland are wearing suspenders".
I liked that's shorts...
But... In fact... Looks so risky 😅
In Mexico 1986 wear this short too...
México 🇲🇽 👋
was there that day, pissed rain all day, but not a care
4:02 A mere 3 years later, another Scotsman, Ray Houghton, would repeat such an (England defeating) goal in 1988. Ireland vs England.
Scotlands last home win vs England.
Made a couple of GIFS from this video & they'll be on twitter & FB in a few hours

Scotland but they have a hooligan rivalry with the other Scottish fans clubs. Or they did at that time, it might of died off a bit.
got a good soaking at the Celtic end, that day, but it was worth it !

Does still happen now - that's the problem. Especially in Europe. Players like John Terry actually saying it on the pitch but being defended by many
