16 years old and went down on a whim from Edinburgh. The march through Liverpool to annfield wi the pipers at the head of it was amazing. Simpler days never to be forgotten. I was on the kop and it was just incredible
Stein and Robson, Giants of the Game, everyone loved them, especially loved hearing about Robson, going into this carpal at Newcastle, going nuts at his players all having Jags, Porche when he was kicking about in a Ford Escort, Stein going around Glasgow, searching for Jimmy Johnston, to pull him out a bar, priceless !!!
I'll never forget this game as long as I live. We lived in an area of Liverpool called Croxteth ( about 5 miles from Anfield ) and you could hear the Scottish supporters singing from outside our house. I remember asking my dad what the noise was and when he told me, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck.....absolutely amazing.
Piece of trivia - Big Jock was in the early part of his legendary managerial career when Billy Bingham was a player in the opposing Everton team at Dunfermline. It was the Toffees first tie in European competition during the season they won the English league title. It was the Fifers who progressed to the next round.
was there that night when jock stein passed away we had a cracking day with the wales fans weather was warm fans playing football at cardiff castle then on to the game some of the welsh players warming up having a few shots at neville southal the balls came over the fence then big jock came over and asked the lads to give the wales player the balls back all in good banter never thought he would die that night R.I.P JOCK ...GBNF.
I took my eldest son David.As a present for his 10th birthday.We heard the tragic news on the way home. Next birtday David will be 44.He's married to Joyce and they live in Brooklyn where he's a member of No.1 Celtic Supporters Club in Manhattan.We'll never forget that night in Cardiff.As Shankly once said " John you're immortal''.
Shankly said that to Big Jock in the Glasgow Celtic dressing room at Stadio Nacional during the celebrations after Celtic won the European Cup...Jock Stein , Matt Busby ,Bill Shankly😁😁😁
Was at that game, arrived at Cardiff at 7am with the hangover from hell ,great atmosphere and will never forget the police taking their hats off in respect of Jock Stein, big respect
Crowd was mental...we lassies were late getting in...carryon at turnstiles...so crowd was jam packed and swaying wae every kick o the baw...we found ourselves away up the back and up intae the safety of the iron girders, high above the crowd!!! Great view and safe! X
I remember watching Football Focus the following week - Bob Wilson couldn't believe that Jock Stein had passed after appearing on the show just seven days earlier.
That game in 1985 was my first memory of a football match. 6 years old and watched the game with my Grandpa as my Dad was at the game. He'll of a lot to take in how important it all was after Davie Cooper scored the late penalty equaliser just loved the whole atmosphere. Remember not really understanding what was happening after being so happy it was a great result to people being so upset that big Jock had died. Years later when Davie Cooper died I always remember that penalty and how cool he was as Neville Southall was one of the best keepers in the world at the time. Being Scottish we might never win anything but it doesn't matter nothing feels as good! Or hurts as bad!
What a set of managers, coaches and players Scotland has produced for the world of football. Hopefully, we have such a time again soon. Scotland was a powerhouse of football - just a shame the national team could never replicate their astonishing talent on the field. Stein is up there with the best.
Given this match was played at Anfield Liverpool England ... we in England could not see the game, as it was only shown live in Wales and Scotland ...Some of us in Liverpool could re-tune to B.B.C. Wales, but the picture was snowy.
Scotland had more passion in both those games.I watched that 1977 qualifier live on TV.Wales were a fab team but couldn't finish well.Our boy's dug deep and finally broke through.Fabulous night and well remembered...
Mike England is wrong here... the Welsh FA did NOT have to take the game out of Wales. They could have played it at Wrexham, but chose Anfield, anticipating a bumper gate receipt.
how wales cleared that ball off the line - is incredible by wales, and so unlucky for scotland. scotland had a fantastic array of talent. if that was the team now they would beat most in europe easily.
I was nine years old when Celtic won the European Cup. Years of wonderful success under the great man. I will never forget the 1972 Scottish Cup final. We had gone out of the European Cup on the Wednesday night on penalties. Dixie Deans mised and Inter won 5-4. In the Scottish Cup final three days later we faced a great hibs side. We were two one up at half time and I remember speaking to a confident hibs fan who felt sure his team would emerge victorious. Celtic came out for the second half and ran riot with Dixie Deans scoring a hatrick. At the end of the game the celtic fans were chanting Jock's name and he eventually emerged onto the pitch. I was 13 at that time and 50 years on will never forget that absolutely wonderful day. I have lived in England for 47 years but Celtic are my football love and always will be. For me Jock is the greatest manager of all time. An absolute legend of a man with great humility. Thank you for the wonderful memories Jock.
In 1985 Scotland or Wales would have had to play a 2 legged game against Australia or New Zealand to Qualify for Mexico and that game in Cardiff would have had very big interest in Australia and New Zealand and the ITV live coverage from Cardiff would have been beamed live to both Australia and New Zealand
Am I right in saying that Wales was big jocks last game and we lost a legend? 🍀God bless☘️Total gentleman,couldn't come a more down to earth guy if you tried! A genius!!
Even as a Scot myself I've always wondered about this - perhaps if a camera had been behind the Welsh goal that might clear things up ??. But no matter what, what IS un-deniable is that none of the Welsh players objected !
it does look like joe jordan handled the ball for the penalty but look at the welsh players, not one single player complained or mobbed the ref, surely if they were cheated would'nt they be furious?
I can see the Grim Reaper behind Big Jock! Gods punishment for protecting the Celtic Boys Club coaches and Celtics reputation. QUOTE: “The worst people on earth are not only those who commit evil, but those who stand by and turn a blind eye.”
So, does your quote include Murray , Souness , Smith and Wallace who covered up and gave references to Neely ? Or the cover up over Chalmers , Dunne and Hutchinson? Nope, because you are okay if sexual abusers are protestants . What a vile scumbag you are , bet the police would love a nosey at your hard drive. You're a beast mate.
Wonder if Jock was sitting thinking about the many victims of sexual abuse that he helped cover up at Celtic during this period? Big Jock Knew. A good football manager but that doesn’t exonerate him from the deplorable and systemic abuse within Septic park. The Jimmy Saville of UK football clubs.
Maybe Jock should have took a shovel and finished off the injured instead of helping while the hun players and staff hid in the dressing room. It wasn't a disaster it was murder.
Keep all your bigotry and bile to yourself...nobody's interested in your rubbish...scum rangers fans soo jealous of what he and celtic achieved and died trying to emulate..lol....remember the 66!!!!
why wasn't the game in 1985 played at the arms park? it would have been a goal start for wales just like it used to be a 6 point start in the five nations
Glasgow celtic football club 9 ia row 1966-1974 big Jock you were a legend.

Can't get over how packed the Annie Road is
Billy Bingham was right regarding the result of the match but neither him nor anyone else could expect that outcome... RIP Jock Stein.
'It's gonna be one of those lovely evenings'
Mike England is wrong here... the Welsh FA did NOT have to take the game out of Wales. They could have played it at Wrexham, but chose Anfield, anticipating a bumper gate receipt.
It backfired though as it meant it was practically a home game for Scotland, due to the sheer numbers of their fans who attended.

I love Archie MacPherson's commentary although he was wrong about the handball. I heard him on Eurosport in the 90s and he was still great then.

Yes, "it was a punch if ever there was one" but by Scotland's Joe Jordan

Sure, Jordan's hand ball was never a penalty. But, the goalie's trip on Kenny Dalglish was.
The much-maligned Alan Rough saved Scotland from Toshack's lob and Kenny Dalglish scored a 'Kenny Dalglish' goal.
it does look like joe jordan handled the ball for the penalty but look at the welsh players, not one single player complained or mobbed the ref, surely if they were cheated would'nt they be furious?
