Police Scotland told CNN it had received no reports regarding fans’ behavior towards Boyle. Paul Devlin/SNS Group/Getty Images“It was a historic problem born of the Catholic-Protestant divide in Scottish society, especially in the West of Scotland.

A fost o cursă de 60 de metri în care i-a înșirat pe Peter Beardsley, Peter Reid, Terry Butcher, Terry Fenwick, Peter Shilton și din nou Butcher. ”Un geniu, un geniu, un geniu!
