Jim Baxter’s iconic '67 Scotland jersey sparks dispute over true owner hours before auction

A dispute over the true owner of Jim Baxter’s iconic 1967 Scotland jersey has broken out just hours before it’s due to go under the hammer.

Respected auction house McTears is to sell off what they claim to be the real strip worn by the legendry footballer when he helped steer the national side to their historic 3-2 victory over England at Wembley - saying it could fetch up to £60,000.

But Falkirk businessmen Andrew Dickson and David Wishart have told the Record that their dads snapped up the genuine article for £17,500 at a 1991 dinner auction attended by Baxter himself - who died in 2001.
