Scotland's Swedish Adventure is the definitive story of Scotland's journey into their first ever European Championship finals in Sweden. The book explores the tale behind their road to qualification, with exclusive insight from some of the men who made this adventure happen, including manager Andy Roxburgh himself, players, journalists and fans.
Scotland's Swedish Adventure is the definitive story of Scotland's journey into their first ever European Championship finals, in Sweden. Having qualified for five consecutive World Cup finals between 1974 and 1990, it was surprising the Scots hadn't yet reached the Euro finals given the array of talent at their disposal. Andy Roxburgh would soon change that, and after being drawn into the ultimate 'group of death' that included the reigning European and world champions, his side repeatedly put on brave performances against superior opposition to make the nation proud. Scotland's Swedish Adventure explores the story behind their road to qualification, with exclusive insight from some of the men who made this adventure happen, including Roxburgh himself, players, journalists and fans. That Scotland qualified for an eight-team tournament, and finished fifth in the overall standings, is an achievement that doesn't get the recognition and respect it deserves. This 30th anniversary tribute remedies that.

John Bleasdale is a respected writer for the Famous Tartan Army Magazine and podcaster and blogger for Scottish Football Forums. He has a wealth of knowledge about the Scotland national team having followed them regularly since the 1990s. He recalls Euro '92 fondly as it was his first European Championship finals, watching as an 11-year-old. John is perfectly placed to tell the story of that unforgettable Scotland side.
