World Cup under-16 final 1989

[soup-herb]

Was anyone else at this?

V Saudi Arabia

Brilliant atmosphere over 50,000 fans at Hampden but lost to penalties in the end unfairly.

The opposition had a giant goalkeeper with plenty facial hair as did many of their over-aged players.

Still a great day though.

I can't quite remember but I'm positive I was at the semi-final against Portugal and it was absolutely crammed at Tynecastle.

Ahhh memories

[ABERFELDYDEE]

Yup ,I was,boys wi beards playing for Saudi
Can someone put up the Scotland squad so we can tear into it pointing out where we went wrong

[Steen hive]

Went to see Brazil at Todders if memory serves me correct, mind watching the final on tv, thon "young" loons fae Saudi are probably still dining out on their victory, their "bonus" for doing such a thing would be able to buy a Flo(p) or such like :

You're not sure whether you were at a semi final at a packed Tynecastle or not?

Were u at tynecastle in the 80s.

Not the most memorable place .

And I went to quite a few Scotland games and tynecastle a few times.

Just can't remember an under 16 game right now.

Do you remember every single game you have been to or are you young.

No. But I know I would remember if I had attended a World Cup Semi Final or not.

A team of twelve year olds should have been capable of beating the Saudi full team never mind their under 16s


Luis Figo played in that semi at Tynecastle


no pigs heads thrown that night
