Tartan Army's oldest member Moira, 93, set for fourth World Cup

Lifelong Scotland fan Moira Brown is 93 years "young" [Fiona Brown] Moira Brown attended her first Scotland game 80 years ago and - at the age of 93 - is now preparing to travel to the US for her fourth World Cup. The oldest member of the Tartan Army has got tickets for all three group games in Boston and Miami next month - and says she will be there no matter what. "Nothing will ever stop me from going until I can no longer make it," she vows.

Moira first watched Scotland play an international game in 1946, just after World War Two, when they beat England 1-0 at Hampden. Since then she has attended the World Cup finals in Germany (1974), Spain (1982) and France (1998). But, like the rest of the country, she has been denied the opportunity to see Scotland on the global stage for almost three decades.

Moira says she is now going to make the the most of the opportunity to see Steve Clarke's side play on the biggest stage. As a child, Moira wanted to play football [Fiona Brown] Moira was born in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, on Christmas Eve 1932. She says with a giggle that her mother constantly reminded her she "was the worst Christmas present she has ever had".

She loved football from an early age and her father first took her to watch his team, Motherwell, when she was just five. But while she could watch the game, she wasn't allowed to play it. "I just resented the fact there was a lack of opportunity for women," she says.
