Match Report

|
 Both
teams were down to ten men within five minutes following a collision between
Bobby Smith and Scottish skipper Eric Caldow, who was carried off with a
triple fracture of the leg. By the time Smith limped back on with his bruised
knee bandaged 'Slim' Jim Baxter had twice beaten England's new goalkeeper
Gordon Banks, first after a misplaced pass by Armfield and then from the
penalty spot. Bryan Douglas scored ten minutes from the end, but the Scots
deserved a victory that was masterminded by Baxter who memorably walked off
with the match ball tucked up inside his jersey. This stunningly skilled
showman had owned the pitch, so why not the ball? Liverpool team-mates Gerry
Byrne and Jimmy Melia made their debuts. It was the first match played at the
'new' Wembley with a £500,000 roof that ran right round the stadium like a
giant lip. A 98,000 crowd paid then record receipts of £76,000. Ramsey had
kicked off with two defeats. Could this be the man to lead England to the
World Cup?
