He and Kenny Dalglish are the only Scottish players to score in three World Cups (1974, 1978 and 1982). Jordan was an imposing figure throughout his career, as his four upper front teeth had been knocked out whilst playing football for Leeds. He subsequently had dentures fitted which, for safety reasons, he would remove prior to every game, therefore giving him a fearsome toothless grin. 1974 World Cup Appearances At the World Cup, Jordan scored the second goal in a 2–0 win over Zaire in the first group game, and a last minute equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Yugoslavia. Scotland finished the group unbeaten, but went out of the competition at the group stage on goal difference. 1978 World Cup Appearances Jordan was still a regular for Scotland, and in 1977 he caused controversy during the decisive World Cup qualifying match between Scotland and Wales. Late in the game, with the scores level, Scotland were attacking in the Wales penalty area when Jordan allegedly handled the ball. The referee, believing the ball to have been handled by a Welsh player, awarded a penalty, from which Scotland scored. The victory meant that Scotland qualified for the World Cup at Wales' expense. He was selected by Ally MacLeod in the Scotland squad for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, scoring in the opening 3–1 defeat against Peru. Scotland again failed to qualify beyond the group stage. 1982 World Cup Appearances In 1982, Jordan was again in the Scotland squad for the World Cup. Scotland once again failed to progress beyond the group stages; however, a personal milestone was achieved when he scored in the 2–2 draw against the USSR. Unfortunately he was injured in the same match, missed the rest of the tournament and never played for his country again. His international career ended with 52 appearances and 11 goals. As a player with more than 50 caps, he holds a permanent place in the Scotland Hall of Fame. Joe JORDAN | 1974-1979 | PES Stats Database (Golden Era Backup)
