'The British Three' v 'The Common Market Six' at Wembley .
A team was selected featuring players from Britain, Ireland and Denmark to celebrate having recently joined the Common Market, with Stein's fellow Scotland international Peter Lorimer also featuring in a side that included Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton.
Players for the Common Market Six side were drawn from the six nations of the established European Economic Community - Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands and West Germany.
The British Three won 2-0 against a team featuring such stars as Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller and Johan Neeskens, as well as future Scotland manager Berti Vogts.

Colin Stein scores for the good guys.
