Edinburgh Festival Select v Bayern Munich mid 80s
Anyone remember any details of this match? An Edinburgh Select wearing black and white played a 'Festival Football' friendly against I think Bayern Munich at Tynecastle. Must have been August 84 or 85ish as I seem to recall Willie Irvine and Mickey Weir being involved and Craig Levein.

At least Bayern came back to Edinburgh soon enough!Henry Smith wrote:Hi,
The match was at Tynecastle on August 13th 1985 and according to my records ended 1-1.
I don't have anything beyond that other than the attendance was small enogh for the idea never to be pursued again.
Anybody got anything they can add?

Only that it was a nice sunny day from my recollection. Someone else had a memory that there was a penalty shoot out to decide a winner but I can't say I remember. Probably gone off to see another version of Waiting for Godot by then.Henry Smith wrote:The match was at Tynecastle on August 13th 1985 and according to my records ended 1-1.

Thanks for the date though - confirms my guesstimate was not far off.

Wow - even more excellent info. Of course I'd forgotten Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was playing, but now that you mention it I seem to remember him doing a Klinsmann (before Klinsmann) in a pathetic attempt to win a penalty and being roundly jeered for the rest of the match.
Could have sworn Mickey Weir played too, but there you go.

Good call. Shows how prominent the game is in history that I have the score wrong Still Robbo scoring the winner?
Nothing changes.
