Scotland were the only team from the British Isles to make it. What’s more, it was the first time they had qualified since 1958. The official World Cup song was called Easy, Easy – but it wasn’t conceit or hubris that was their downfall, it was goal difference.
Joe Jordan and Davie Hay played in all three matches in West Germany. They talk us through the campaign…
Preparations were eye opening, to say the least. After mixed results in the Home Internationals, Scotland had warm-up matches in Belgium and Norway. Then there was the incident in Largs…
Manager Willie Ormond allowed the players go for a night out in the coastal town and, in the early hours, winger Jimmy Johnstone decided to commandeer a rowing boat. Only problem was, he had no oars and began to drift out to sea. Hay and Eric Schaedler tried to rescue him, but the boat they purloined had a hole in it so they frantically rowed back to the shore. Johnstone had to be rescued by the coastguard, becoming front page news in the process.
With world champions Brazil drawing 0-0 with Yugoslavia the previous day, Scotland’s win over the inexperienced Africans – with goals from Jordan and Peter Lorimer – took them top of group two.
Scotland had the best chance of the game against the world champions. A Jordan header was saved by Leao but the rebound struck captain Billy Bremner’s shin and squirmed inches past. “It wasn’t like he could side foot it in – it bounced off him,” Jordan says.
Meanwhile in Gelsenkirchen, Yugoslavia thrashed Zaire 9-0 amid claims the Africans had threatened to strike before the game over missing payments.
Victory would take Scotland into the last eight. Even a draw would have been good enough if Brazil failed to beat Zaire by three clear goals. But they did, winning 3-0.
The Scots fall a goal behind with fewer than 10 minutes left, with Jordan’s late equaliser not enough. Yugoslavia, Brazil and Scotland finish level on points, with the team who scored fewest against Zaire eliminated.
Brazil and Yugoslavia progressed to the last eight only to both go out in the second group stage. West Germany beat Netherlands 2-1 in the final, but lost to East Germany earlier in the tournament, leaving Scotland as the only unbeaten team in the finals.
