Diary
Friday, 10 March 1961 -
Three new names come into the
England reckoning for the last of the winter get-togethers—Aston
Villa centre-forward Gerry Hitchens, slim George Eastham, who
has been showing his £47,000 form at Arsenal, and Sheffield
Wednesday's Tony Kay. They are among
the fifteen players called up for special training next week. They
will have a private practise match against West Ham United at
their Boleyn Ground on Monday, and then will play the Under-23
side, as they prepare for their match against West Germany, on
Tuesday at the Bank of England Sports Ground in Roehampton. Tottenham's Bobby Smith is the only regular from this season who
misses out, he will be on Cup duty.
Monday, 13
March 1961 - England took a step towards shaping their team
to meet Scotland next month when they played an hour long practice
match against West Ham United at their Boleyn Ground. England used
fourteen players and West Ham fielded ten of the team that lost
4-0 at Preston. West Ham won with a solitary Geoff Hurst goal. He
stood in for Moore who is away with the under-23's. Two of the
regular England team were missing, Ron Flowers was missing because
he has a cold. Bryan Douglas received a kick on a thigh on
Saturday and so was rested, his place going to Peter Brabrook.
England:
Ron Springett, Jimmy Armfield, Mick McNeil (Ray Wilson), Bobby Robson,
Peter Swan, Tony Kay, Peter Brabrook, Jimmy Greaves, Gerrry Hitchens, George Eastham, Bobby Charlton. West Ham United FC: Brian
Rhodes, Joe Kirkup, John Bond, Andy Malcolm, Ken Brown, Geoff Hurst, Ron
