The Corries Scotland at Murrayfield 1990

[Thompsonf1001]

like the painting in celebration of this: "the underdog rampant" a more fitting title there will never be!

[AGCT1953]

I was staying in the Holiday Inn in Los Angeles on the day of the match and listened to it on the BBC World Service on short-wave on my little portable radio. After the final whistle, which was about 8 am LA time, I went down to the restaurant, to discover it full of locals enjoying a St Patrick's Day breakfast celebration, all of them oblivious to what had just happened at Murrayfield.

[ixyplixy]

I was there! Thank god we now can sing our anthem in time! I love the hush over Murrayfield when the pipers stop on the second verse... Bill would be proud'

[peadar6981]

scaud , I agree with you scotish colours must be navy tops and white shorts as french colors must be blue tops with white shorts. we should give you our dirty navy tops. pierre from France

[whingenjock]

god bless the voice of rugby that was bill mclaren

[leithboy1]

Flower O' Scotland being sung as the National Anthem, a grand slam victory over the 'auld enemy' and Bill McLaren commentating. Was there ever a more perfect day than this? remember it like it was yesterday, and will do so as long as I live!

[MrNoahDeer]

and real scrums!! not like the pansy stuff the have going on these days

[thatmad1]

a day i will never forget.......in fact i could tell u where i was that day watching the game........one more thing,,,,,,R.I.P Bill McLaren......the Scottish God of rugby.......

[ArnolddeWijs]

I absolutely love this video. Thanks for posting. Flower of Scotland gives me goose bumps! So I hope the next time Scotland will qualify again.

[johnnytanini]

Scotland had some tremendous players around that time.

Gavin Hastings missing that penalty in front of the posts in the 1991 semi was a shame. They may have won the world cup had he kicked it.

[whingenjock]

but don't hold it against him he is one of the best

[mizofan]

Being Welsh i was delighted. A famous match, and not the result England were expecting.

[showusyertube]

Watched this when at uni in Lancaster. Was the only Scot in The Water Witch pub. Stood up cheering and elated at every opportunity. At final whistle, rough bird turns to boy friend and says, "God, look at 'im, hit 'im!" I grinned and noone will ever take the memory away. Saw Finlay Caulder several years later and he was mild and totally unassuming. He was amazed I remembered who he was! How will I ever forget?!!

[skoskur]

ha ha ha we fucked the english!!! its okay tho, they deserve it

all they had to do was turn up and beat the useless jocks,,,, think again fools

[MacGafraidh]

It was 1990 not 1991

[blondieblondieyes]

THey should never again play 500 miles at murrayfield.

totally should play 'Denis (Denis)' by Blondie

[scaud]

Remember that colour? Nice old navy blue. Why doesn't the SRU stick to it? Get rid of the grey and the silver. It's a mockery. Navy tops and white shorts. End of.

[Wallace5000001]

Totally agree.

But who will make the SRU listen to anything ?

[Maksimfan]

@scaud and not forgetting propper rugby shirts, none of this rediculous skin tight stuff worn now!

[hoadmaback]

LOVE IT!!! - Crackin kick at the end from Gavin - could not help but notice the guff pushing him in to touch after he kicked.......Very honorable eh?

Superb posting - Thanks!!!!

[vymmas]

I was there! Best game ever for me.

[vymmas]

For me the best things about this were...the standing-only terracing behind the posts, the way someone would hold the ball still when the kick was being taken and the pure white/pure blue shirts completely free of advertising. Aaaah those were the days.

[Mahavishnu80]

Dont know who i hate more english or private school arseholes

[craigowl]

Aye we murdered them that day, the team the setting and the crowd an dThe Flower of Scotland was just right

[bfmjock]

Bannockburn 1314, Culloden 1746, Murrayfield 1990!

When will we see your like again?

[Myself0101]

2000/2006

[outshore]

did the pipe major after rehearsal and deliberation get the end of the song out of sync because he had never listened to it being sung anywhere ... surely there were enough corries CDs bought and sold ?

[ballochs]

get it correct 1990

[wilkiethepunisher]

great day for scots all over the world

[HELPTHISISCRAP]

Brings a tear to my eye and makes the hairs on my neck stand up. Get it up ye english scum.

[kingmilton]
