The
1977 British Home Championship
The
1977 edition of the British Home Championship took place in the middle of the
1978 World Cup qualifiers.
Ultimately,
from the Home Nations, only Scotland would end up qualifying but nothing was
settled yet.
This
edition of the Home Championship also took place before both England and
Scotland embarked on a Tour of South America as preparation for potential
qualification.
The
Management of both England and Scotland would be in the news before and after
this Championship.
The
English were still under the Management of Don Revie but events would shortly
unfold to taint him ever after.
Scotland
were making their debut under a new Manager.
Willie
Ormond had resigned on May 5th. The Scottish FA had initially set
their sights on Celtic Glasgow Boss Jock Stein, who refused and preferred to
remain with Celtic. As a result, Aberdeen Manager Alistair (Ally) MacLeod was
offered the post and accepted on May 17th.
MacLeod’s
first match in charge of Scotland was on the opening day of the 1977 Home
Championship (May 28th) that featured all four teams.
Wales
hosted Scotland at Wrexham and Northern Ireland hosted England at Belfast.
Scotland
and Wales were incidentally in the same World Cup Qualifying Group and this
particular encounter was of little importance compared to the one in October at
Anfield.
Scotland
were missing Aston Villa’s Andy Gray who had been named as PFA’s player as well
as Young player of the year.
The
match turned out to be a hard fought scoreless tie.
MacLeod
appointed Bruce Rioch as Captain, thus making him the first ever English-born
player to Captain Scotland.
At
Belfast, England were missing their Liverpool contingent, who had been rested
after their triumph in the Champions Cup against Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Liverpool
star Kevin Keegan in the aftermath had signed with West Germany’s SV Hamburg.
Liverpool
goalkeeper Ray Clemence’s absence earned a recall for Peter Shilton (returning
after a self imposed exile).
Northern
Ireland took the lead in the fourth minute. Jackson made a run before giving
ball to Gery Armstrong.
Armstrong’s
shot was blocked and McGrath scored from the rebound.
England
tied the match in the 27th minute, when Colin Todd assisted Channon
for the equalizer.
For
England Paul Mariner had a disappointing game upfront and was ineffective.
Revie
sent on the debutant Brian Talbot in place of Wilkins in the 65th
minute, and it was Talbot who would be involved in England’s winner just
minutes before the end.
Talbot
crossed from the right for Tueart to head in from a low height.
The
result seemed somewhat unjust, as the Irish had generally been better in the
second half.

On
May 31st, England hosted Wales at Wembley and made five changes from
its previous match as its Liverpool players (including the new Footballer of
the Year, Emlyn Hughes) along with Kevin Keegan (now with Hamburg) were available.
Despite
playing at home, England were disappointing. Just before halftime, Peter
Shilton fouled Leighton James in the box and James himself converted the spot
kick.
After
going behind, England started playing better and at least started to show some
initiative. They also had a penalty kick appeal a foul on Pearson that was
waved off.
However,
the tired Engish could not find a way through.
This
was Wales’ first win on English soil in 42 years.
Note:
from ‘Red Dragons, The Story of Welsh Football, Author Phil Stead’
There
was controversy prior to the start of the match as the England refused to play
the Welsh Anthem ‘Hen Wlad Fy Nhaudau’.
They
would only play ‘God Save the Queen’ to avoid any emabarassment to the
dignitaries present.
Mahoney
and Yorath planned a protest. After ‘God Save the Queen’ was played, the
English players dispersed, but the Welsh squad stood in line in defiance in a
signof protest amidst the jeering from the English crowd.

The English were better in the early going but as
the half wore Scotland took control.
Scotland took the lead just before halftime. They
were awarded a free kick on the left side after a handball by Phil Neal.
Hartford’s free kick was headed in by McQueen.
England
attacked harder in second half but Scotland were always more dangerous.

They
doubled the lead in the 60th minute. Asa Hartford released Willie
Johnstone on the left side touchline, who crossed to the right side post to
Rioch.
Rioch
headed the ball back inside the box to Dalglish who took a shot. His attempt
was at first blocked but he scored from the rebound.

England
were sluggish and did not appear likely to score until just minutes before the
end they were awarded a penalty kick after Trevor Francis was fouled by McQueen
inside the box. Mike Channon scored from the spot.
At the end
of the match, Scottish fans invaded the pitch and broke Wembley’s goalposts.
It
was said that some fans were angry, as an Edinburgh gas board worker had died
of injuries after diving into the Trafalgar square fountain.

This
was their way of venting their anger. The damages were estimated to be around £150,000.
This
incident was perhaps the catalyst for the game being scrapped in a decade’s
time due to security concerns.
This
was England’s third defeat in four matches and in general a turbulent summer.
During their Tour of South America, it would come to light that England Manager
Don Revie was negotiating with officials from the United Arab Emirates in
secret. He would a Ten-year ban for breach of
contract (that would eventually be overturned by the high court).
Scotland
would bask in the glory of this Home Championship win and achieve World Cup
Qualification in the Fall.
