team notes: |
Manager Alf Ramsey debuted for England against Switzerland in December
1948 and also played in the May 1952 match.
Ron Springett extends
his record of being England's most capped goalkeeper, the first to
reach the thirty appearance mark.
Bobby Charlton's thirtieth goal, his final in his hat-trick, makes him
equal England's highest goalscorer, alongside Tom Finney and Nat
Lofthouse. It is his fourth hattrick, equal with Vivian Woodward, and
the most experienced player to score three goals. |

Match Report

A
hat-trick from Bobby Charlton and two goals from Johnny Byrne helped England
bury the Swiss under an avalanche of goals. Everton midfield dynamo Tony Kay
scored in his only international appearance before the careers of both he and
his former Sheffield Wednesday team-mate Peter Swan were wrecked by a bribery
scandal. The sporting Swiss fans gave England a standing ovation at the end,
and even poker-faced Alf Ramsey struggled to keep a smile off his face as he
said, 'That was much more like it. We played with the urgency and purpose that
was missing from the performance in Leipzig. All in all, this has been a most
satisfactory summer tour. But there is much work still to be done.' The only
surprises was that goal thief Greaves - at the peak of his powers, and six
times the leading First Division marksman - failed to get on the scoresheet.
But he played an assist role in four of the goals.
