Match Report
by Norman Giller |
England scored first through Derek Kevan,
but were burned out within an hour of kicking off in high-altitude ciudad
de México. Despite officially using substitutes for the first time
they were run off their feet in the last 30 minutes. Jimmy Greaves swept
the ball into the net just after half-time, but the referee ruled it
off-side. Moments later Mexico snatched a second goal and from then on
England were on the retreat as they struggled to breathe in Mexico's thin
air. Eddie Hopkinson performed wonders in the England goal, but he was
often confused by the flight of the ball. Wilf McGuinness was the first
player to be substituted after half an hour. He was affected by the heat
and had to go to the dressing-room for an emergency intake of oxygen. Doug
Holden was the next player hit by the heat, and he was replaced in the
fifty-seventh minute by Warren Bradley. It was a match that Ronnie Clayton
would never forget. He had been so badly burned while sunbathing that his
back came up in a mass of blisters. They burst during the game, and in the
dressing-room afterwards the Mexican doctor bathed the Blackburn skipper's
back with mentholated spirits. It was this more than anything that finally
convinced the Football Association that they should follow Walter
Winterbottom's advice and always travel with a team doctor. It was hardly
the best organised tour. Ron Flowers at one stage found himself sharing a
hotel room with six complete strangers!
