Match Report

|
Greaves (4) and Terry Paine (3) lit up this
first match under the Wembley floodlights, and Bobby Smith scored once in what
was to be his final international appearance. Smith (12) and Greaves (19)
between them collected thirty-one goals in just thirteen matches together.
Wolves left-back Bobby Thomson made a sound debut at the age of nineteen. It
was England's sixth win in succession under Ramsey, and a mood of optimism was
beginning to build with the World Cup finals bound for the birthplace of the
game in 1966. Irish goalkeeper Harry Gregg, a Munich survivor, said: 'Jimmy
Greaves is a genius. I have never faced a more complete finisher. He tells me
he has an Irish grandmother, Katie O'Riley. We should have snapped him up!'
