Match Report

Joe Baker, the
Englishman from Hibernian with the broad Scottish accent, and Bolton's Ray
Parry were two of nine new caps tried in three matches. Baker gave England
the lead with a brilliantly worked goal which was equalized with three
minutes to go by Billy Bingham. The match was into its final seconds when
Parry snatched the winner. West Ham centre-half Ken Brown gave a solid
performance
in the middle of the England defence, but was quickly dumped as the
selectors continued their hunt for a successor to Billy Wright. Ron Springett
marked his impressive first game in the England goal with a first-half save
from a Jimmy Mcllroy penalty.
