The 1926–27
British Home Championship was a
football tournament played between the British
Home Nations during the 1926–27 season. It was shared by
England and
Scotland after a series of high scoring draws in the opening matches left England,
Wales and
Ireland well behind with Scotland ahead, only for England to defeat Scotland in the deciding game with a late winning goal by
Dixie Dean – the first time the Scots had lost since 1924, and their first loss at home since 1906.[1]
