First Game

Hamilton Accas in 1960's
Too wee to remember who against. That is, I was too wee :p

Best Game

Scotland 2-1 Czechoslovakia 1973 got me hooked as a youngster, but France 0-1 Scotland at the Parc de Prince in 2007 was the most exciting.

Worst Game

Seen some stinkers, but Scotland 0-1 Norway at Hampden in 2004 was miserable. Not the worst score, just awful.

Well, certainly the flashiest.

Let down due to a crappy view as if through letterbox from back row beneath stand behind a goal.
