On This Day in Football: Duncan Edwards makes debut, Scotland clinch title

On this day in 1936, Scotland beat England at Wembley to win the British Home Championship.

It was the last game of the campaign and the Scots only needed a draw to win the title after going unbeaten in the tournament. England, however, took the lead through Middlesbrough hero George Camsell around the half hour mark.

The Three Lions held on to their lead until the 75th minute before captain and Arsenal legend Eddie Hapgood conceded a penalty. Scotland’s twenty-year-old striker and Heart of Midlothian superstar Tommy Walker stepped up to put the ball in the back of the net.
