Jinking Jimmy
Greaves scored the first of his two goals in the second minute and Wales were
never allowed to recover from this jolting start. The five-goal haul took
England's total to twenty-three in four matches. Injury to Ron Springett
forced Walter Winterbottom's first team change for four matches, and the
recalled Alan Hodgkinson gave a sound display at the back of an England
defence that was rarely under pressure. England were comfortable with their
4-2-4 formation, which worked so well because of the midfield understanding of
Johnny Haynes and Bobby Robson.
