The
1981 Edition of the Intercontinental Cup was the second in its ‘permanent’ home
in Tokyo.
The
participating teams were England’s Liverpool and Brazil’s Flamengo.
Liverpool
had won their third Champions Cup in six seasons by defeating Real Madrid (1-0)
on May 27, 1981.
Flamengo,
led by Zico, had defeated Chile’s Cobreloa in the Final of Copa Libertadores
(after three matches) just a few weeks before this encounter.
Bob
Paisley’s Liverpool had relied upon for a number of seasons on a nucleus of
players that included Phil Neal, Phil Thompson, Alan Hansen, Graeme Souness and
Kenny Dalglish among others.

They
had lost their long serving goalkeeper Ray Clemence in the summer. The new
starter between the nets was Zimbabwe’s Bruce Grobbelaar.
Paulo
Cesar Carpeggiani’s Flamengo was an exciting attacking squad that included many
players present in Tele Santana’s excellent Brazil squad that would delight the
World in months time in the World Cup in Spain.

He
was followed to such an extent that the Liverpool defense exposed themselves.
Flamengo
took the lead early in the 13th minute. Zico sent a cross that
Thompson was unable to intercept. He jumped as high as he could but it fell for
Nunes who went on to score.
Flamengo
doubled up the lead in the 34th minute. Zico took a free kick that Bruce Grobbelaar was unable to hold. Lico shot the rebound
and Adilio followed up to score.
Just
a few minutes before halftime, Flamengo scored their third against a
disorganized Liverpool, Zico once more sent Nunes clear who scored his personal
second and Flamengo’s third.
(Zico and Souness, December 13, 1981,
Intercontinental Cup, Flamengo 3-Liverpool 0)
The
second half was uneventful as Flamengo held on to win comfortably
(unexpectedly) against such a solid side as Liverpool.
In
fact Liverpool had more possession throughout but it was Flamengo that had made
the most of its opportunities.

Liverpool
Manager Bob Paisley felt Liverpool had been dull in the first half, physically
and mentally. Just like Nottingham Forest, the previous year, the long journey
had taken a toll on them. (a problem to be repeated by many European sides in
the years to come).
Incidentally
Flamengo had arrived in Japan one day after Liverpool and logically should have
been less prepared than their opponents.

(The second goal by Adilio, December 13, 1981,

Paisley
stated that Flamengo had been deserved winners, but their third goal was
suspiciously offside.
Craig
Johnston was the one Liverpool player to come out with some credit.
Zico
and two goal hero Nunes were named men of the match with Zico claiming the
Toyota car.
The
Flamengo delegation took the opportunity to pay tribute to the former Brazil
Manager Claudio Coutinho, who had been tragically killed in a scuba diving
accident the previous month.
At
this point in time, Zico was on top of the World and eyeing another World title
in a few months time (that unfortunately he missed out on).

In 1968, Belgium’s Wilfried van Moer almost joined Club Brugge from Antwerp.
He
had even signed a pre-contract. Club Brugge dragged on the negotiations hoping
to get a reduced fee. One day or so before the transfer deadline Standard Liege
came in and offered 3 Million Belgian Francs plus Velko Naumovic.
Antwerp
refused as they only wanted money. Standard therefore offered 1 Million more.
Brugge counter-offered with 5.5 Million.
Standard
Liege offered 6.3 Million Belgian Francs and acquired van Moer, even though the
player himself had his mind set on joining Brugge.

February 1989, Rangers Glasgow Player-Manager Graeme Souness tried to sign
Dynamo Kiev and USSR midfielder Vasily Rats.
Nothing
materialized and the player shortly afterwards joined Spain’s RCD Espanol
Barcelona.

4-In
the Spring of 1985, it was reported that SV Hamburg’s General Manager Gunter
Netzer had tried to sign Kaiserslautern’s Andreas Brehme.
He
had offered a substantial fee, in addition Scottish striker Mark McGhee and
Jurgen Groh.
SV
Hamburg publically denied of making this exchange deal.

International goalkeeper Frierich Koncilia. The deal did not materialize and
Koncilia joined Anderlecht the following season.

In
1984, the British Home Championship drew its last breath after a full Century
of annual meetings between the Nations of the British Isles (Not including the
years of the World Wars).
After
years of Governmental Pressure, it was decided to disband the competition.
England and Scotland felt more attractive and competitive opposition was needed
and these annual meetings were unnecessary extra matches in an already crowded
fixture.
Some
crowd trouble along the years had also led to the final decision.
Wales
and Northern Ireland were against abolition of this Tournament, as these
matches helped their coffers.
The
first match of this Final Home Championship was actually played in 1983. On
December 13th, 1983, Northern Ireland hosted Scotland at Windsor
Park.
Northern
Ireland had narrowly missed on the European Championship and were coming off an
impressive away win vs. West Germany the month before.
Scotland had also missed on Euro Qualification (as had all the Home Nations)
and were coming off a loss vs. East Germany in the qualifiers.
In
contrast with Scotland, Aberdeen (managed by Alex Ferguson) were dominant and
were to clinch the UEFA Super Cup vs. SV Hamburg the following week.
For
this first match, Scotland Manager Jock Stein started the match with five Aberdeen
players, plus Mark McGhee who came on in the second half.
Aberdeen
defender Doug Rougvie deputizing for the missing Arthur Albiston earned his
only cap.
Scotland
(wearing Red) were also missing John Wark, Kenny Dalglish and Steve Archibald.
Northern
Ireland were clearly in better form at home and scored in the First half. In
the 17th minute, Terry Cochrane passed to Hamilton, who immediately
crossed it across the goalmouth for Whiteside to score.
Graeme
Souness scored a goal for Scotland in the 28th minute that was
disallowed after a Peter Weir’s foul on Mc Elhinney.
In
the 56th minute, Cochrane was involved again; his cross into the box
from the left side was met by McIlroy who volleyed it home.
The
next match took place on February 28, 1984 at Glasgow between Scotland and
Wales.
Scotland
were once again missing Dalglish, as well as Gordon Strachan, Archibald and
McGhee. In a poor and uninspiring match Scotland came out winners and went
ahead first in the 37th minute from a penalty kick by Davie Cooper.
Wales tied up the match early in the second half through Robbie James. Maurice
Johnston made his debut for Scotland in the second half and scored his first
goal as well and the match winner in the 78th minute.
The
third match in the series took place at Wembley between England and Northern
Ireland on April 4, 1984. This was in fact the last ever Home International at
Wembley.
The
absence of Kenny Sansom paved the way for Liverpool defender Alan Kennedy to
earn his first cap for England. Northern Ireland’s Pat Jennings was also
missing and Jim Platt earned a rare cap in the process.

Platt, April 4, 1984, Home Championship, England 1-Northern Ireland 0)
In
another poor match in the series, Ray Wilkins was the pick of the bunch.
England
scored the winner in the 40th minute. Viv Anderson took a hard shot
that Platt could not hold onto and Woodcock headed into an empty net.
Billy
Hamilton had a couple of chances to tie the match but was unsuccessful.

Kennedy, April 4, 1984, Home Championship, England 1-Northern Ireland 0)
On
May 2nd, Wales hosted England at Wrexham. England were missing nine
regulars that included Captain Bryan Robson, Kenny Sansom and Terry Butcher.
In
the process, Alan Kenendy earned his second (and final) cap. Defenders Mark
Wright and substitute Terry Fenwick also made their debuts. For Wales, Mark
Hughes made his debut for his nation.

Championship, Wales 1-England 0)
The
more determined Welsh were rewarded in the 19th minute. Ian Rush was
brought down, the late Alan Davies took the free kick and his Manchester United
club mate Mark Hughes headed the winner. While Welsh goalkeeper Neville
Southall was almost a spectator, his opposite Shilton saw most of the action and
was England’s best on the field. The debutant Hughes scored another goal that
was called off.

On
May 22nd, Wales hosted Northern Ireland in their respective Final
ever Home Championship matches at Swansea. The honors were shared with Mark
Hughes scoring once again for Wales and Gerry Armstrong replying for the Irish.
Four
days later at Glasgow, the stage was set for the Final ever match of the oldest
ever rivalry: England and Scotland (102nd meeting).
Scotland
were once again missing Kenny Dalglish. England welcomed back Kenny Sansom, but
were missing Terry Butcher.
Bobby
Robson opted for a 4-2-4 formation and England were stronger in the early
going.
Surprisingly,
Scotland scored first against the run of the play in the 13th
minute.
Davie
Cooper took a corner that Shilton punched clear; Strachan took possession and
sent it into the box, where the unmarked McGhee headed it home.
England
continued to press and in the 37th minute tied up the match. Mark
Chamberlain saved a ball that was about to go out and passed to Woodcock on the
right side touchline. Tony Woodcock
went around Miller and blasted with his left foot from edge of the box.
Scotland
improved in the second half after Mo’ Johnton and McStay came on. Ten minutes
later, Gary Lineker made his debut for England by replacing the injured
Woodcock. Substitute Stephen Hunt earned his first cap for England as well.
Scotland
finished stronger and had chances to win.

The
final whistle brought an end to the oldest ever Soccer Tournament.
In
the following years, England and Scotland tried to at least maintain their
annual meetings by playing each other in the Stanley Rous Cup. This in itself
was disbanded in 1989 due to continuous crowd trouble.
As
far as this Final Tournament, Northern Ireland was victorious by goal
difference as all the teams had identical record and points. In a way it was
fitting that the two nations who wanted to retain this competition the most
ended up at the top.
