Archie Gemmill

Archibald "Archie" Gemmill (born March 24, 1947 in Paisley) is a former Scottish footballer. He scored what is considered one of the greatest goals in the history of sport, for Scotland against the Netherlands at the 1978 World Cup.

On June 11, 1978, Scotland needed to win the game by three goals to advance. With his team leading 2-1 in the 68th minute, Gemmill ran around three Dutch defenders and scored a fantastic goal to give his countrymen hope. Unfortunately, three minutes later the Netherlands replied, the game ending with a 3-2 result, denying Scotland a spot in the second round. The goal was later made a part of a memorable scene in the movie Trainspotting.

Overall, Gemmill played 43 times for Scotland, scoring eight goals. On the club level, he played for St Mirren, Preston North End, Derby County, Nottingham Forest, Birmingham City, Wigan Athletic, and the Jacksonville Tea Men of the NASL.

Archie's son, Scot Gemmill , is a Scottish international as well.
