I don't suppose anyone has any close-up pictures of the Saudi team? Also,  does anyone know who is who in the saudi tea,?

The keeper went on to become the most capped goalie in history...

A few of that squad qualified for 4 World Cups so they can't have been anyone's mugs.

Should still have beaten them though, blew it 😖

I remember going to the opening game at dens , can’t remember the teams just looked up it was a double header . Pele showed up as well

29000 at tynecastle for the semis , the famous final managed to keep a VHS of the game for years , not sure what happened to it.

The late David Hagen was part of the squad as well

is that Love Street ?

i only went to see E.German game at Pittodrie  - ive read since a lot of disappointment at only 10,000 there compared to what was achieved at Tynecastle etc.... i dont recall much hype about it either though

Looks like Tynecastle

Doh ; yeah aside from the Maroon , the bit next to away end as Malcolm described above - and i have actually been there in 80s ..... but not to Love Street - i just mind seeing a bit of terracing like that on tv ......

Cairters Corner at Love Street is what you’re referring to but it looked a bit different.  Anyway, glad others have confirmed it is Tynie. :)

I was there too. Think it was 2 matches back to back and one of the games involved Nigeria and possibly China ?
