Abstract

THEY will be ironing their kilts and polishing their sporrans north of the border following last night's news that Wembley is ready to host a revived Home International Championship. The tournament lasted 100 years -- from 1884 to 1984. It survived two World Wars, the Northern Ireland troubles and the biennial invasion of Trafalgar Square by manic Scots. Finally, the arrogance of the English FA, swiftly followed by Scotland, killed it off. Wales and Northern Ireland just weren't good enough to make the matches competitive -- or marketable -- they said. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
