Men Of War
Cullis At Heart Of Astonishing Spectacle
Not one of the 22 players on view is likely to have said as much but this was a game in which the two teams were in many ways combining as one to defeat a common much bigger foe. Scotland v England at Hampden Park 82 years ago, with Matt Busby and Stan Cullis as rival captains, has passed into folklore as a victory for the home countries against Nazi Germany; a triumph of good over evil.
