Joe Jordan and Scotland's 1982 World Cup revisited

Joe Jordan, Gordon Strachan, and John Wark have reunited to recall Scotland's 1982 World Cup campaign in a new BBC feature. The trio reflected on the infamous group stage in Spain – from David Narey's stunning opener against Brazil to the physical battle with the Soviets and the rueful what-ifs under manager Jock Stein. Scotland failed to progress on goal difference despite beating New Zealand and drawing with the USSR. The retrospective lands as nostalgia pieces surface in the build-up to the 2026 tournament. (1)
