Northern Ireland v Scotland 1967 – The George Best International

An authentic piece of football history: a football programme issued for Northern Ireland v Scotland (Saturday 21 October 1967).

This is a Northern Ireland football programme. Northern Ireland's goals came from Clements in front of a crowd of 46,300 at Windsor Park.

On the day it was Northern Ireland who took the points (and the tie) – the British Home Championship match ended 1-0. It would make a fine addition to any collection of football memorabilia.

Due to George's fantastic performance, almost beating Scotland on his own!
