PICTURES 1, 2 and 3

GS: My first Scotland v England game was in 1970. There were so many tickets printed there were over 137,000 people in the ground.

I was just 13 at the time and I only saw the ball going up in the air a few times. I can remember Colin Stein going to head it a couple of times.

I thought: "Great, there's my hero! Oh, he's disappeared again!" The game finished 0-0 and it was just pandemonium.

If there was health and safety in those days the game would have been called off.

MM: My first memory of the fixture was of my dad going to the 1967 game at Wembley with all of his friends.

I was at the infamous game at Wembley in 1977 when the goalposts were torn down.

I was working in an office at the time. I was training to be an architect. I went with all of my colleagues and took my wee brother Edward.

I just remember at the game: "Can I go on the pitch! Can I go on the pitch!" So we went down and stood on the edge.

I still have a photo of him on the field at Wembley with all of this mayhem going on in the background.

GS: Was I in the background? I was on the pitch that day. But, in my defence, it was by decree of the police!

I was on my honeymoon and was there with my wife and my best man. When everyone went on the pitch at the end we just stood there. A policeman said: "What's wrong with you? Get yourselves on!" So we went on. I picked up a piece of turf.

SM: The first Scotland v England game I went to was in 1981 when John Robertson scored a penalty in a 1-0 win at Wembley. It was a fantastic day.

I can remember getting back to Leeds that night and going into a local pub at 10pm with my "See You Jimmy" hat on, a tartan scarf round my neck and a Lion Rampant flag wrapped round me.

The barman said to me: "Why've you come dressed like that? Don't rub it in!" He couldn't believe I had made it back from the game so quickly. It was a great occasion to be involved in.

GS: Why did you need a "See You Jimmy" hat Stuart? Could you not just use your own hair!

This picture shows me in the starting line-up for my first Scotland v England game at Hampden in 1980. We lost 2-0 and I wasn't very good.

England were a good team. They had some strong lads in that side. I can remember it was a really warm day. But I can't recall anything about the game or anything that I did. I was obviously useless.

I can usually remember at least one piece of action. Not that day.

The second picture shows me up against Stevie Coppell that day with Terry McDermott in the background and was clearly taken about three stone ago.

In the third picture I am looking on with Alan Rough and Willie Miller after Coppell scored their second goal. It was a bitter disappointment.

PICTURES 4/5

GS: The first picture here shows me in the game against England in 1985 being tackled by Bryan Robson of Manchester United.

I had signed with United the season before and Bryan was one of my club-mates. He was easily the best all-round player I have worked with.

MM: The second picture here shows me scoring on my debut for Scotland in the game against England at Hampden in 1984.

The manager called me two weeks before that game that I was going to be starting so I knew well in advance. It was very exciting. I had played in the Scottish Cup Final the week before and was set to make my move to Hamburg. It was fantastic.

The noise I heard when I scored was the loudest of any game I have been involved in during my career. It was amazing. The ground reverberated.

That goal is the highlight of my career. It isn't even up for discussion. It is without doubt the best moment.

For me, the fact that Peter Shilton was in goals was important. It wasn't just some keeper whose name you forget.

To score against him made it even more special. I don't know why he even bothered going for it to be honest.

GS: It was a bit different playing for Scotland as an Anglo-Scot because the fans hardly ever saw you.

The only games which were shown on television at that time were cup finals.

So how people perceived you depended on how well you did when you played for your country in an international.

I had a smashing first season at Manchester United. It had been good fun. But I still had to do well for Scotland.

Unfortunately, the game against England at Hampden in 1985 wasn't good for me personally. But we won it 1-0.

I was taken off with 20 minutes to go. That is why I have a tracksuit on in this picture of the team with the Rous Cup.

But I am in good company. Mo Johnston and Paul McStay have tracksuits on as well.

We are, back row from left to right, Richard Gough, Alex McLeish, Roy Aitken, Jim Leighton, Maurice Malpas, David Speedie, Steve Archibald, Willie Miller, Mo and Paul.

In the front row, from left to right, we are Jim Bett, Graeme Souness, Murdo MacLeod and myself.

It was satisfying being able to beat a good team with players like Bryan Robson and Ray Wilkins in it. They had a lot of top professionals.

I can remember it was lashing with rain that day and Richard popped up and scored a great header. I was glad he got it because I was standing behind him.

As the ball came over I thought to myself: "Please God win this header and stick it in!" If he had missed it then the ball would have come to me and I was having a stinker.

It was a fantastic leap and goal by Richard. If the ball had come to me history would have been changed.

SM: Playing for Scotland against England at Wembley in Euro '96 was an amazing experience. Unfortunately, the result wasn't what we had hoped for.

We had drawn 0-0 against the Netherlands before that and had played all right.

We had Colin Hendry up against Alan Shearer, his club-mate at Blackburn, we had Colin Calderwood up against Teddy Sheringham, his club-mate at Spurs, and I was up against Paul Gascoigne, my club-mate at Rangers. This first picture shows him tackling me.

The night before I did an interview and I said that my daughter had been born in England and loved Gazza. As we were going down the tunnel at half-time I heard somebody come up behind me. It was Gazza,

He took his shirt off and gave it to me. He said: "That's for your daughter." I hadn't even asked for it. I thought it was incredible he should think of something like that at a time like that.

When we came out for the second half England had changed their system. Jamie Redknapp had come on for Stuart Pearce. They caught us cold as a result. Alan Shearer put them in front.

I didn't get forward often that day. But I cut the ball back for Gordon Durie and he was fouled by Tony Adams and won us a spot kick. I thought Gary McAllister hit a good penalty. For me, it was a fantastic save by David Seaman.

The second picture shows Gary holding his head in his hands as I turn away. He hit well and he hit it high and Seaman only caught it with his elbow.

GS: You also had Uri Geller moving the ball!

SM: Then a few minutes later Gazza scores what was probably the best goal of the tournament. If the penalty had gone in he would have been taken off. It just shows you how things can change.

If the penalty had gone in it could have been a different game. But it was a great occasion. I can remember the fans telling us afterwards the singing at half-time was amazing.

GS: I was there. It was absolutely fantastic. Rockin' All Over The World was one of the songs.

MM: We played in the veterans' game before it and won. I still have a photograph of the Wembley scoreboard showing Scotland 3, England 1, in that game.
