Rearranged league games and FA Cup-ties due to multiple postponements led to
13 withdrawals from the original squad. Only Blissett, Hazell and Mabbutt
were available, and the venue was switched from Alkmaar in North Holland to
Maastricht on the southern border with Belgium, eight days before the game,
in the hope of the weather relenting, but it was called off just a day after
the announcement of the revised squad, due to several inches of snow on the
pitch. Over-age players (original squad): John Burridge (27), Shaun Elliott
(22) and Brian
Greenhoff (26). Over-age players (revised squad): Gary Stanley (24) and Ray Wilkins (22). |

at 25, would have been one of the over-age players, was needed for Manchester
United's last game of the season, at Nottingham Forest, on the night before
the first leg of the final. Southampton's Danny Wallace played in the last
first-division match of the season, at Notts County, on the same night as the Under-21s' game.
His team-mate, Mark Wright was also withdrawn, but did not, in the end,
appear for his club due to injury. Captain,
Tommy Caton had an injured ankle, and Paul Walsh was pre-occupied with his
upcoming transfer from Luton Town to Liverpool. They were replaced by
Elliott and d'Avray, respectively. Brian Stein (26) was another
over-age player in the squad. |
