Gemmill’s goal still a firm favourite
Archie Gemmill’s 1978 World Cup wonder goal has been voted the most iconic World Cup image for Scots in a recent survey by Klick Photopoint.
Polling first place with a massive 41%, Archie Gemmill’s dance through the Dutch defence is an image the Scots do not wish to forget. Beckham’s sending off against Argentina in France 1998 also proved popular north of the border, coming in second place with 22% of the vote.
Klick Photopoint asked more than 400 men and women across Scotland to reveal their most memorable World Cup images. The results are as follows:
Top five World Cup iconic images
- Archie Gemmill’s goal against Holland in 1978 - 41%
- Beckham’s sending off in France 1998 – 22%
- Pele’s 100th goal for Brazil in Mexico 1970 – 8
- Maradona’s Hand of God in 1986 – 7%
- Chris Waddle’s penalty miss against West Germany in 1990 – 3%
Sandy Kennedy at Klick Photopoint says: ‘As World Cup fever grips the nation we thought it would be interesting to find out which iconic images stick in the minds of football fans.
‘The World Cup is such a huge sporting event that people want to remember where they were when a crucial penalty was scored or when a top player was sent off. I’m sure the 2006 World Cup will be no different and provide us with images that will stay with us for years to come.’
