It was a scene every Sunday morning player will be familiar; one team turns up, the other does not.
The difference in the Kadriorg Stadium, Tallin, was that it was a World Cup qualifying match, not a park kickabout, and Estonia had just refused to play the fixture, leaving Scotland all dressed up with no one to play.
3 minutes to kick off - The Scotland team marched on, in full kit. With the Estonian half of the pitch empty, the Scots lined up in formation. Billy Dodds rolled the ball forward from the centre spot to John Collins, captaining his country for the first time. The referee immediately blew his whistle and led the Scotland team off. Scotland's fans, who had made a 2,000-mile round trip for the games with Latvia and Estonia, took the abandonment in good humour. They sang: "There's only one team in Tallinn" as they left, the biggest cheer came when a kilted fan charged on with a ball and dribbled it into the goal.
