Scotland's Swedish Adventure is the definitive story of Scotland's journey into their first ever European Championship finals, in Sweden. Having qualified for five consecutive World Cup finals between 1974 and 1990, it was surprising the Scots hadn't yet reached the Euro finals given the array of talent at their disposal. Andy Roxburgh would soon change that, and after being drawn into the ultimate 'group of death' that included the reigning European and world champions, his side repeatedly put on brave performances against superior opposition to make the nation proud. Scotland's Swedish Adventure explores the story behind their road to qualification, with exclusive insight from some of the men who made this adventure happen, including Roxburgh himself, players, journalists and fans. That Scotland qualified for an eight-team tournament, and finished fifth in the overall standings, is an achievement that doesn't get the recognition and respect it deserves. This 30th anniversary tribute remedies that.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"To help me get mentally attuned for the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign I got stick into an excellent book entitled Scotland's Swedish Adventure: The Story of Scotland's European Championship Debut." - Scotland Forever

"Filled with words from the likes of Jim McInally, Richard Gough, Maurice Malpas, Stuart McCall and fans too. This means you get a first hand view on top of John's research which gives the book a good dynamic. A very well researched and detailed effort... A good informative read and one all Scotland fans should have on their shelf." - Fitbawbag.com

"A week after the Qatar World Cup Final, Santa helped cheer me up with Scotland's Swedish Adventure. The first-ever Euro finals took place in 1960 but it was not until 1992 that Scotland made it through the qualifying rounds to an eight-nations finals. Thirty years on, the author suceeds in giving the achievement the recognition and respect it deserves." - Programme Monthly
