Jordan’s reaction after his blatant cheating was rewarded was the thing I disliked the most and, although it counted for very little in the grand scheme of things, I was really pleased when he was sent off in another Wales v Scotland match at the Vetch a few years later. The penalty in 1985 was more debatable and I can understand why that one was given, it was how close Neville Southall came to saving it that was more galling to me at the time.
However, you’re not telling me that Scotland, a more passionate football nation than us I would say, would just forget about how Wales had benefitted if the roles had been reveresed and, say, John Toshack had done what Jordan did to ensure qualification for a World Cup?
I supported Scotland in the 1974 World Cup and felt sorry for them after the way they bowed out of that competition, but after what Jordan did, I took great pleasure in their shambolic 1978 campaign and have never regarded them in the way I used to since Anfield 1977.
