Scotland bad boy Willie Johnston's failed drug test is always remembered as the first World Cup scandal after he was sensationally banned and sent home in disgrace from Argentina in 1978.
But Haiti - Scotland's opening World Cup opponents next weekend - were the first country to have a player banned in the tournament four years earlier.
And while ex-Ranger and Hearts winger Johnston had to live with the shame and has continued to protest his innocence to this day, the fate of Ernst Jean-Joseph - Haiti's World Cup star of 1974 - was very different.
Steve Clarke's side face the Caribbean nation in their opening game in Boston. It's just the second time Haiti have qualified for the World Cup.
But they certainly made a mark 52 years ago at the West Germany Finals on and off the pitch.
They were placed in a Group of Death with Italy, Poland and Argentina and for Violette AC defender Jean-Joseph, he very nearly did meet his own personal demise.
After Haiti stunned the world when Emmanuel Sanon opened the scoring in their first game against Italy - which ended Italy keeper Dino Zoff's personal record of 1,143 minutes without conceding an international goal, which stretched back two years - it all went wrong for Haiti.

They eventually lost 3-1 to Italy, 7-0 to Poland and 4-1 to Argentina.
After the Italy game, two Haitian players were then tested for doping after FIFA introduced tests for the first time ever.
Unfortunately for Joseph, his positive test was just the beginning of his nightmare.
He protested his innocence by stating: "I have asthma and my doctor in Port-au-Prince gave me a lot of pills to take. I had no idea that anything was illegal. Our team doctor didn’t warn me about anything."
However, Haiti team doctor Patrick Hugeux destroyed his excuse. He said: "His asthma involves an entirely imaginary ailment.
"We don’t know exactly what dose was taken but it is certain the amount he took was sufficient to have a doping effect. It had nothing to do with a pretended case of asthma but was taken precisely for the match - he was not of a sufficient intellectual level to realise what he did or what he said."
Haiti was then under the dictatorship of the notorious Jean-Claude Duvalier, nicknamed 'Baby Doc' and he didn't take kindly to this worldwide humiliation.
Jean-Joseph was arrested by Haitian security forces, dragged to a secret location in Munich, beaten up and tortured and flown back home under cover.
He was then sentenced to two years' hard labour in a prison camp back in Haiti.
Remarkably though, once released he was able to continue his football career and he even played in seven more games for Haiti, including the qualifiers for the 1982 World Cup.
He later even became manager of Violette AC before passing away in 2020.
