    Scotland were unlucky not to beat Brazil at the 1974 World Cup. Davie Hay played alongside Billy Bremner in midfield and feels that the Scots were the better team in West Germany. The man dubbed “The Quiet Assassin” by Jock Stein was surprised to find that the then world champions were more physical than in previous tournaments - including the great Rivellino.
