Big Jock As Scotland manager:
Stein who had been part-time national manager in 1965,
was now able to focus on the job full-time.
He led Scotland to the World Cup Finals in 1982
where they went out on goal difference to the Soviet Union.
During qualification for the 1986 World Cup,
Stein brought in a young Alex Ferguson
at the time manager at Aberdeen to be his assistant.
On September 10, 1985, Jock Stein died from a heart attack
at the end of the 1-1 draw with Wales at Ninian Park. He was 62 years old.
The result in this game virtually ensured Scotland's qualification
for the 1986 World Cup Finals,
where Scotland were managed by Alex Ferguson
until the surprise appointment of Andy Roxburgh.
