| | BBC - A Sporting Nation - Wembley Wizards 1928 |
 | | As the Home Championships of the 1927-28 season got under way, the omens for such a momentous result were not good, as Scotland slumped to a 1-0 reverse to Northern Ireland in Glasgow and could only manage a 2-2 draw with Wales in Wrexham. |
 | | In fact, that rain-swept day in 1928 was to be Tiny Bradshaw's only cap, despite a sterling performance marking the great Dixie Dean out of the game. |
 | | Although the defeats may have brought the 1928 victory into sharper focus, we should never forget what a wonderful performance those eleven men gave that day, and perhaps a new generation of Scots children will learn to reel off their names: Harkness, Nelson, Law, Gibson, Bradshaw, McMullan, Jackson, Dunn, Gallacher, James, Morton. |
