A BOTTLE of whisky commemorating Scotland’s famous 3-2 win over England at Wembley in 1967 is expected to raise hundreds of pounds when it is auctioned off later this year.

The rare scotch is one of a number of top prizes up for grabs at a charity auction being held by the Royal British Legion’s Dunfermline branch on October 26.

Proceeds will go to help eight-year-old Brandon Yeoman, who lost his sight and was left paralysed foll- owing a stroke in February.

The youngster is still recovering in hospital.

The Legion event will feature the charity auction and a concert.

Barman at the branch’s New Row premises Matt Feaks was in no doubt about the star attraction in the auction.

He knows only too well what Scotland’s victory that day means to football fans north of the border because he was at Wembley himself to witness Jim Baxter, Denis Law, Billy Bremner and co humble England—who had won the World Cup just the year before.

The game is perhaps best remembered by the Tartan Army faithful for the moment ‘Slim Jim’ Baxter, who was born in Fife, decided to taunt the Auld Enemy by playing keepie-uppie.

Matt (73) told The Courier yesterday that the game was quite an occasion.

The retired trucker, who lives in Rosyth, managed to get tickets for the game and flew south with a few friends from Oakley, where he used to stay.

“Three of us just decided one day to go down,” he said.

“We got tickets and flew down but we had no idea how the game was going to turn out.

“It was a brilliant match and should have been more than 3-2 in the end.”

Matt ended up going to Wembley on at least a dozen occasions until the rise in soccer violence in the 1970s.

“It was no fun after that, it just started to get nasty,” he added.

The bottle of whisky— which is now being kept under lock and key at the Legion—was handed in some weeks ago.

One member offered to buy it for £100 but stewardess Janice Gray said the decision was made to auction it off to the highest bidder in aid of Brandon and his family.

The bottle comes with a list of the Scottish team and scorers printed on a label on the back.

“I think you could be looking at £500 but it could be more if there’s somebody who is into football,” Matt said.

So there may be more than a few members of the Tartan Army beating their way to the Legion’s front door come October.
