Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
With Greaves and Hitchens otherwise engaged in Italy and Haynes injured,
Johnny Fantham, Ray Pointer and Dennis Vioilett teamed up together for the
first time in this World Cup qualifier.
It was a combination that struggled to get into gear against the
part-timers of Luxemburg, who had been swamped 9-0 in the first meeting. The
Highbury crowd continually booed and slow-handclapped England, but they were
finally silenced by two long-range goals from Charlton - one from his left
foot and the other from his right. The following month the same Luxemburg team
caused one of the greatest of all upsets in the World Cup qualifying rounds
when they beat Portugal 4-2.
