Wait till the Tartan Army sees the new Wembley!

The tournament lasted 100 years — from 1884 to 1984. It survived two World Wars, the Northern Ireland troubles and the biennial invasion of Trafalgar Square by manic Scots.

Finally, the arrogance of the English FA, swiftly followed by Scotland, killed it off.

Wales and Northern Ireland just weren't good enough to make the matches competitive — or marketable — they said.

So it was ironic that the final Home International table showed Northern Ireland on top, with Wales second, and the trophy resides at Irish FA headquarters in Belfast.

Scotland beat Ireland 5-0 away in the inaugural match on January 24, 1884 and went on to be the first champions.

Tragedy shook the competition in 1902 when a section of terracing at Ibrox collapsed during the Scotland-England match, causing the death of 26 fans, with more than 500 injured.

When the games resumed, Ireland competed until partition in 1921, after which Northern Ireland were admitted.

With the growth of the World Cup and European Championships, home international matches became less significant and — apart from England v Scotland — were played in front of small crowds.

Civil unrest in Northern Ireland meant the 1980-81 tournament was abandoned because England and Wales would not travel to the Province.

England's worst home international defeat came in 1928 — a 5-1 mauling by Scotland's "Wembley Wizards".

They gained revenge with a 9-3 thumping in 1961, after which Scotland goalkeeper Frank Haffey emigrated to Australia.

In 1967, England's World Cup winners lost 3-2 at Wembley to Scotland, who promptly declared themselves "world champions".

A decade on, Scotland's 2-1 win at Wembley resulted in an invasion by Scotland fans, who tore down the goalposts and ripped up the pitch.

England were champions 54 times (20 shared), Scotland 41 (17), Wales 12 (five) and Ireland/Northern Ireland eight(six).
