Synopsis

We Made Them Angry is the fascinating story of Scotland’s colourful journey to the 1982 World Cup, where a talented squad, a travelling Tartan Army and a series of extraordinary events combined to create one of the most memorable chapters in Scottish football history.

Led by the legendary Jock Stein, Scotland arrived in Spain determined to banish the memories of their disappointing 1978 campaign in Argentina. With a squad packed with top-class talent and confidence high after a successful qualification campaign, hopes were high that this could be a tournament to remember. Instead, Scotland found themselves navigating controversy, misfortune and chaos before a ball had even been kicked.

• Charts Scotland’s dramatic journey to and participation in the 1982 World Cup in Spain
• Explores the challenges and controversies surrounding the tournament, from ticketing problems to the Falklands War

From high expectations and glorious optimism to frustration, drama and disappointment, We Made Them Angry brings to life a World Cup that encapsulated the Scottish football experience. Rich in character, nostalgia and insight, it is an essential read for Scotland supporters and anyone fascinated by the game's great international stories.
