The 1936âÂÂ37 British Home Championship was a football tournament played between the British Home Nations during the 1936âÂÂ37 seasons. The trophy was won by Wales with Scotland coming second. This was the last Home Championship that Wales would win exclusively. Every subsequent victory would be shared with one of the other Home Nations. Wales began the competition by beating England and followed it with a similar 2âÂÂ1 victory against Scotland. With the two favourites beaten Wales only required a draw with Ireland to complete a rare tournament success. They ultimately took the title in style, winning 4âÂÂ1 at home. Scotland recovered from their loss to Wales in their final game with a commanding 3âÂÂ1 victory over England in Glasgow to come second, whilst England's only points came from their own 3âÂÂ1 defeat of the disappointing Irish.
The ScotlandâÂÂEngland tie recorded a massive attendance of 149,547, despite the fact that Wales had already won the Championship. Attendance was boosted by the fact that the game was not on the radio due to a disagreement between the Scottish FA and the BBC. The crowd was the fifth-largest for any competitive international football match, being beaten by four games at the Maracanã.
