In this iconic photo print, Scotland captain Graeme Souness proudly holds the Rous Cup trophy high above his head at Hampden Park. The year was 1985, and this moment marked the inaugural staging of a competition that would sadly have a short lifespan. The Rous Cup was established as a means to keep alive the age-old rivalry between England and Scotland after the British Home Championship came to an end. This annual game had become a tradition deeply rooted in football history, and its absence left fans longing for more clashes between these fierce competitors. With emotions running high on May 25th, 1985, Souness led his Scottish team to victory with an impressive scoreline of 1-0 against their English rivals. As he hoists the gleaming cup into the air, it is clear that this triumph meant everything to him and his teammates. Colorsport photographer Andrew Cowie expertly captures this historic moment in time. The image exudes pride and determination as Souness basks in the glory of lifting such a prestigious trophy on home soil. This photograph serves as a reminder of not only one team's success but also highlights how sport can unite nations through shared passion and intense competition.
