Rick Edwards

He was coming to the end of his international career, but...

And no, no Gary McAllister who was injured.

Yeah, missing a bit of creativity and a bit of flair.

Yeah, we didn't have the massive names like you say, like the Douglasian, the Jordans and all that.

It was a more hard work, Craig Brown type, give nothing away.

Because I think in the, did we not go the first six games in the qualifying and not lose a goal or something?

You've got a dream as a football fan though, haven't you?

The dream is getting out of the group and not winning it.

What was it like being in the Tartan Army back in those days and before that in the kind of glory days, I suppose?

That's a good prediction, actually.

I can it was 1974 home internationals Scotland England 2-0 Scotland at that time I stayed near Inverness so in those days that was a five hour drive down and back so it was I think it was two on goals actually but we kind of classified it as Jordan and Jimmy Johnson but I think it was Mike Pedrick and Colin Todd but we'll gloss over that well deserved 2-0 win before setting off for West Germany as it was in those days

Yeah, what was the fan culture like back then?

Pretty wild.

I mean, scary is quite an interesting word because I remember being 11 and thinking, gee whiz, you know, when we score, you know, I remember my dad put me in, I think, in front of a barrier in those days in the terracing so you weren't getting piled on with people behind.

Yeah.

You know?

So it was, yeah, the culture was different then.

The Tartan Army sort of evolved into a self-policing, maybe more into the 80s, late 70s sort of thing, you know?

Yeah, so how did the Tartan Army change then over the years, sort of 70s, 80s, into the 90s?

We're going to be popular when we go places.
