I went to a couple of England v Scotland games and found the Scots very hospitable and welcoming. One was the one where they were banned, but there in their tens of thousands. Great atmosphere.
Viv Anderson made his debut (I think) in one of those games. I was up behind the goal surrounded by Scots, as was everyone. One Scot was making racist comments at Anderson and another Scot in the adjacent pen (the old Wembley looked like a large open terrace but was divided into smaller pens bounded by low concrete walls) shouted at him to stop. The guy ignored him so the other Scot stared to step over the wall to get to him. The abuse stopped.
I saw Sweden V Scotland in a qualifier in 1980. Happened to travel on a train from London to Stockholm which included a ferry from harwich. The train from London and the ferry was rammed with Scots. I have never seen so much beer being carried and drunk. I hadn’t known there was a game on but once I knew I went to the stadium to get tickets. Walking back we ran into a group of Scots who asked us if we knew where the stadium was, I told them.
‘You’re English’ (strong Glaswegian accent)
‘Yes’ (soft southern accent)
‘Are you going to the game?’
‘Yes,
‘Who are you going to support’
(Girlfriend gives me a special look)
With some trepidation...‘Sweden, of course’
‘Good man’
Lots of smiles, hand shaking and they were in their way.
