International football competition

The 1926–27 British Home Championship was a football tournament played between the British Home Nations during the 1926–27 season. It was shared by England and Scotland after a series of high scoring draws in the opening matches left England, Wales and Ireland well behind with Scotland ahead, only for England to defeat Scotland in the deciding game with a late winning goal by Dixie Dean – the first time the Scots had lost since 1924, and their first loss at home since 1906.[1]
