When we left Scotland, the scenes were unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it and I don't think I'll see anything like it again. I was playing for Partick Thistle in front of 3,000 people every week - going to a World Cup was something out of this world for me. We left Hampden, where thousands of fans cheered us off, and travelled to Prestw...
3 June, Cordoba: Peru 3 (Cueto 43, Cubillas 71, 77) Scotland 1 (Jordan 14 ) Peru were a better side than I thought they'd be. Nowadays, you'd have analysts watching opponents in five or six games.

They took the lead with a Rob Rensenbrink penalty. It was never a penalty in a million years. Mind you, the penalty for the goal that put us 2-1 up was ...
We had three days before we flew home. We moved to Buenos Aires, but when we checked into the hotel, Martin Buchan said, "I'm not staying here, this is an absolute doss house". So Martin told the driver to take us to the Hilton, where the Scottish FA was staying. We'd heard all these stories that people at home weren't happy and they would be in Gl...
