Archie Gemmill vs. Holland 1978

Back



On June 11, 1978, Scotland needed to win the game by three goals to advance. With his team leading 2-1 in the 68th minute, Gemmill ran around three Dutch defenders and scored a fantastic goal to give his countrymen hope. The goal has been translated into song [6], dance [7] as well as its mention in the movie Trainspotting, in which characters Tommy and Lizzie make love while watching a homemade porno film, only to see it has been replaced with a football tape called "100 Great Goals" which features Gemmill's strike: at the same time, Renton (Ewan McGregor), who had switched the tapes in their cases and borrowed Tommy and Lizzie's tape, says (after climaxing during sex with Dianne, who he has just met), "I haven't felt that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978!"

This goal looks as if it was preplanned choreography. The Dutch defense made a balls of the first bit of choreography against the Scottish number 8, when they accidently got the ball... but then they got the sliding and falling perfect for Gemill, and the defender and goalie even created a wee space for him to slot the ball into the net... only joking... I'm Irish and remember this goal. I was 14. When Gemill put that ball in the net I did two laps of our housing block... roaring and cheering

40%of canadians are from british descendants though, and a large percentage of them are scots. thats why you guys have so many highland games and play the bagpipes. we dont even do that anymore but you guys do, funny.

Fantastic goal. I love that he turned two defenders inside out on the edge of the penalty area!
