The auld enemy

The England-Scotland football match is the oldest fixture in international football, and its fiercest rivalry – and this week’s Alex Salmond Show comes from Wembley Stadium. Friday’s showdown has England as firm favourites, but in the early days of the beautiful game, it was Scotland who were the dominant side with Andrew Watson, the world’s first black international footballer, leading his Scotland team to a 6-1 triumph. Alex interviews England legends John Barnes and Mark Walters, football historian Llew Walker, former Scotland women’s captain Ifeoma Dieke, and top pundit Jim Spence about football – and the politics of England against Scotland.

The auld enemy
Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond hosts a new political chat program, ‘The Alex Salmond Show’, on RT, where he vows to battle the mainstream media narrative and take the news “out of the Westminster nexus.” ‘The Alex Salmond Show’ will take viewers inside the Welsh, Irish and Scottish parliaments, also looking at the government of Northern Ireland, not forgetting Westminster.
