    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

This 107th match between England and Scotland and the first staged on a Saturday for seven years was spoiled by crowd trouble outside the ground that led to over two hundred arrests. The high spot on the pitch was a beautifully created first-half goal by Peter Beardsley that was enough to give England victory in this Rous Cup match, which was again a triangular tournament with Colombia the overseas guests. England were far and away the better team, and Jim Leighton pulled off a procession of brilliant saves to prove that Scottish goalkeepers were not as bad as myth suggested.

Source Notes

The match was preceded by a Charity Match for the Lee Smith Research Foundation, Dalglish's Tartan Army vs. (Not So) Ancient Mariners.  The two teams, ex-England and Scotland international players, except for comedian Russ Abbott and singer Rod Stewart, played for the Daily Mirror Cup. The England team was made up of Paul Mariner, Alan Ball, Mick Mills, Trevor Brooking, Bobby Moore, Phil Parkes, Dave Watson and Kevin Keegan.
