"For the first time in fifteen games, England failed to score and this was as much due to the tight Scottish defence as the misfiring of the England attack that had new Tottenham team-mates Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Smith back in harness. The Scots were determined to avenge their 9-3 hammering of 1961, and 'Slim' Jim Baxter, Pat Crerand and John White gave them midfield control, while Denis Law and lan St John were a couple of buzzsaws in attack. A Davie Wilson goal in the 13th minute and a penalty by Eric Caldow in the closing moments gave Scotland their first home victory over England since 1937. Johnny Haynes claimed a goal when his shot bounced down off the underside of the bar, but the referee waved play on. For the first time for thirty-five years England had failed to win a match in the Home Championship. All the flair, the panache and the confidence of a year ago seemed to have disintegrated."
