Ahead of England vs Scotland, we look back at five of the best matches between the two countries.
1928 - England 1-5 Scotland
Unusually for a British Home Championship, both England and Scotland were fighting to stay off the bottom of the table rather than battling it out at the top. England had lost both of their matches, whilst Scotland had lost one and drawn one, so England needed to win to avoid the wooden spoon. England were by far the superior side on paper, with star player Dixie Dean closing in on a record 60 league goals that season, whilst the Scottish FA had held a trial match just two weeks before to decide which players to pick.
Along with Dean, the English side also consisted of four players from Huddersfield Town, who had won three consecutive league titles from 1924-26. Scotland left out four regulars for the match, picked a player who had only just returned from a two-month injury and made the brave decision to play uncapped Tom Bradshaw to mark Dean. But despite being the underdogs for the game, the Scottish ran riot on a wet Wembley pitch to claim a famous victory and earn the nickname 'Wembley Wizards'.
England could have gone ahead in the first minute when Huddersfield's Billy Smith hit the post, but it was Scotland who struck first, with Smith's club-mate Alex Jackson heading home to open the scoring after just three minutes. The visitors continued to dominate, but England held firm until the 44th minute when Preston North End forward Alex James doubled Scotland's lead going into half time. The second half was even better for the away side, with Jackson again heading in to make it 3-0, before James grabbed his second to turn the match into a rout. Jackson completed a famous hat-trick five minutes before full time, scoring from yet another cross. England managed to save some pride when Huddersfield's Bob Kelly scored a free kick with a minute to go, but it could not take the shine off an incredible Scottish performance.
1961 - England 9-3 Scotland
"If it wasn't for that 9-3 game, I could sleep at night." Even 50 years on, legendary forward Ian St John can't forget Scotland's worst ever defeat to the Auld Enemy. It was one side of household names against the other; an English side containing Johnny Haynes, Jimmy Greaves, Bobby Robson and Bobby Charlton versus a Scotland team with St John, Denis Law and Dave Mackay. It should have been a classic match for both sides to remember, but it ended up being a classic match that only the English wanted to remember.
England had already run riot in the 1961 British Home Championships, beating Northern Ireland 5-2 in Belfast and Wales 5-1 at Wembley, whilst Scotland had also beaten Northern Ireland 5-2 but lost 2-0 to Wales, meaning England only needed a draw to win their first outright title since 1957.
England may have only needed to avoid defeat, but they certainly didn't look like it. Robson fired them ahead in the ninth minute, with Greaves scoring in the 21st minute and again nine minutes later to all-but end the match as a contest. Scotland did manage to pull two back in a five minute spell just after half time through Mackay and Davie Wilson, but Bryan Douglas put England 4-2 up after 55 minutes. The game appeared to be petering out, but then six goals in 12 minutes made it 9-3. First, Bobby Smith made it 5-3 to England on 73 minutes, before Pat Quinn scored two minutes later to give Scotland hope. Johnny Haynes quickly dispelled that hope with two goals in
