The defending champions England went to Mexico strong in squad and with a team song that would top the UK charts. The single did not sell particularly well and remains a curio.Īt the next FIFA World Cup Mexico (1970) Scotland did not qualify. Jimmy ‘Greavsie” Greaves, himself a member of the England Squad, was less than complementary about the choice of singer at the time and considered him passé.

It was sung not by an Englishman, but by a Scot called Lonnie Donegan. The tournament had an official song called ' World Cup Willie'. Such events kicked off in 1966 when England won the World Cup (and we have never been allowed to forget it). The only positive note to all of this is we have not been exposed to yet another Scottish Football Squad song. The last time Scotland qualified for a World Cup final was in 1998 in France. Scotland’s failure yet again has left all ‘ Jock Tamson’s bairns’ melancholic. To the Tartan Army failure to qualify to the World Cup competition is a national disgrace. Historically they are considered talented and brave hearted with their play sometimes bordering on brilliant, but the efforts of the qualifying Scottish National Squads have always been fruitless. Despite the nation’s unenviable record the squad have never advanced beyond the first round of the finals competition. Scotland has qualified on nine occasions and in 1950 took the unprecedented decision to not participate because they felt ill prepared and did not consider themselves worthy as British Champions. Scotland, is one of the oldest football nations in the world ( England is the other), the former fiercely proud of playing in eight World Cup tournaments.
