I was the landlord of the Ninian Park pub at that time & remember it well. The Police, in discussions with the Brewery had decided that we would be closed in the evening & that meant I was able to watch the game upstairs. We actually took more money in the afternoon of the game than we would normally take all day on a Tuesday thanks to being overrun by Scottish supporters.

The morning after the game I awoke to find my car park completely covered with sleeping Scottish lads 😂

I was at the game too, when I got off the train after the game at Swansea Station (remember nobody had mobile phones) we went to the area outside of the Grand Hotel to be confronted with dozens of grown men (Scottish supporters) in tears. When I asked one what was wrong, he looked at me hardly able to speak, and just said "Big Jock is dead"....
