The 1985 Rous Cup was the first staging of the Rous Cup international football competition, initially established to continue the then-traditional annual game between rivals England and Scotland following the demise of the British Home Championship.
The cup was won by Scotland, who defeated England 1–0 in the match played on 25 May 1985. Richard Gough got the only goal of the game, a header in the 69th minute. This was to be the only time they lifted the Rous Cup during its five-year existence.[1]
