The day a little boy's heart was broken

PLEASE, PLEASE NO GOOGLING

Although it pains me, I thought this might be a fun question for you lot South of the Border.

Can you name the scorers in the 1961 Home International between England and Scotland. To make it more difficult try putting them in order. (if anyone gets it right first time, I'll definitely suspect googling)

KICK OFF:

9 minutes:  England 1 - Scotland 0 (not a good start for the boys in blue)

21 minutes: England 2 - Scotland 0 (never mind, there's plenty of time left)

30 minutes: England 3 - Scotland 0 (beginning to be slightly concerned now)

HALF TIME: Time for a stern team talk.

48 minutes: England 3 - Scotland 1 (YES, come on lads, you can do it)

53 minutes: England 3 - Scotland 2 (game on)

55 minutes: England 4 - Scotland 2 (oops)

73 minutes: England 5 - Scotland 2 (game might just be slipping away from us)

75 minutes: England 5 - Scotland 3 (wait a minute, maybe, just maybe)

78 minutes: England 6 - Scotland 3 (bugger, that Haffey needs shooting)

82 minutes: England 7 - Scotland 3 (where's the tablets)

83 minutes: England 8 - Scotland 3 (blow the final whistle referee, for the love of pity)

85 minutes: England 9 - Scotland 3 (please God, don't let it be double figures)

FULL TIME: Time to call the Samaritans
