ON THIS DAY

& 2008 March 26th seems to be a recurring date when it comes to international centurions in the British game. Back on 26th March 1986 at Hampden Park Liverpool's Kenny Dalglish became the first Scottish player to win his 100th international cap. He was presented with that 100th cap by World Cup winner Franz Beckenbauer and was made Scotland's captain for the friendly match against Romania which Scotland won 3-0. He played twice more for his country and those 102 appearances are still a record for Scotland. The 30 goals he scored in those matches is also a Scotland record which he jointly holds with Denis Law.
