“We’ll really shake them up when we win the World Cup”  Scotland depart for the 1978 World Cup finals. Scottish manager at the time Ally McCoist McLeod when asked what he would do after the World Cup replied, “retain it”. Royal Mail even had a special stamp ready to celebrate a Scottish victory - Scotland World Cup Winners 1978 .. EDIT 01/02/12 : Of course the Scotland manager at the time was Ally McLeod NOT Ally McCoist. Thanks for the correction folks, glad to see you’re on the ball! ;-)
