"THE man who famously broke the crossbar at Wembley Stadium in 1977 has died.

Alex Torrance passed away aged just 54, after a long battle with alcoholism.

As a 21-year-old, Alex hit the headlines by climbing on to the crossbar at Wembley after Scotland's 2-1 victory against England.

The bar snapped between Alex's legs - and pictures of him cheering defiantly after crashing to the turf made the front pages across Europe the following day.

Speaking about the incident, Alex once said: "Those were Bay City Roller days and I'm sorry to say that I was wearing a tartan shirt, brown flares and platform shoes.

"I didn't hear the final whistle, I just saw the Scotland players jumping up and down.

"I was next to my brother and started running towards the posts.

"Scots were climbing all over it, and I tried climbing up - but it was difficult because of my platforms.

"I was pulled up and was about to swing my legs over it when it snapped. I landed on my a**e then stood up and saluted the crowd. It was ecstasy.

"I then started digging up the Wembley turf. I handed out hundreds of bits and kept some for myself."

His brother David said last night: "No matter what Alex did, he was always known as the man who broke the bar at Wembley."

A TV show of 100 Greatest Sporting Moments once placed the incident at No57 - beating Henry Cooper flooring Cassius Clay into 58th.

David, 49, said: "Alex travelled to Wembley with his younger brother Jim. I showed my mum the front page the next day, with Alex on the crossbar, and she couldn't believe it."

Alex, of Govan, Glasgow, worked as a head waiter in Ibrox Stadium's Argyle Suite for about 12 years.

He died in Glasgow's Southern General Hospital on Sunday. He is survived by wife Nessie, two children and four grandchildren."
