Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
 Walter Winterbottom was working out his notice, Johnny Haynes was recovering
from injuries received in a car smash and Bobby Charlton was still not fit
after a hernia operation. Mike Hellawell, Chris Crowe, Ray Chamley and Alan
Hinton were brought together in an experimental forward line that never looked
like clicking in this European championship qualifying match.
A Ron Flowers penalty saved England from defeat against a French team
skippered by the old fox Raymond Kopa. Maurice Norman was booed every time he
touched the ball on the home ground of Peter Swan, the man he had replaced at
centre-half.

"ENGLAND TO PLAY FRANCE
"The English F.A. council
meeting in London yesterday were told that England's first match in the
European Nations' Cup would be against on France at Wembley on October 24
and this will take the place of the friendly game against Hungary, which
has been postponed."
