The1978–79British Home Championship was a BritishHome Nations competition, won by theEnglish football side and notable for seeing marked increases inhooliganism and falling attendance which would result in its cancellation in 1984. The English started well, beatingNorthern Ireland to match the heavyWelsh victory overScotland on the same day, which featured ahat trick byJohn Toshack. Scotland recovered by beating the Irish in their next match while England and Wales played out a goalless draw, leaving three sides theoretically capable of winning the Championship in the final round. Wales could only manage a draw with the Irish and so in the deciding match between England and Scotland, a 1–1 half time score gave the Scots some hope but a strong second half performance from England was rewarded with a deserved 3–1 win. This result gave England the Championship, with Wales in second place. The tournament also saw the introduction ofgoal difference to separate teams, although it had no effect on the eventual outcome.
