Jim Baxter - sitting on the ball


stomach

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me - Did Jim Baxter actually sit on the ball during a International match against England?

My Dad says he remembers Baxter doing this at the corner flag once and waiting for the English to come towards him. Anyone else on here old enough to remember the game?

I have searched Utube and the net in general but can't find any footage of it. Did find loads of clips of Baxter doing keepie-ups against the Auld enemy tho :-).

Cheers

Not in that game (I watched the whole game a couple of years ago on DVD). At one point though he puts his foot on it, gestures to McCreadie to come over for it, then walks away :(

As Stevie says, wee Bud Johnston did make a habit of things like that.
