Roger Hunt and Johnny Byrne deputized for injured Greaves and Smith on a wet and stormy afternoon at Hampden. Alan Gilzean, who was to take over from Smith as partner to Greaves at Spurs, scored the only goal of the match after Gordon Banks had misjudged a seventy-second minute corner-kick from Davie Wilson that got held up in the near-gale force wind. A crowd of 133,245 witnessed a third Scottish victory in a row over the Auld Enemy, the first time this had happened for eighty years. Gordon Banks said of the goal:  'This was my first match at Hampden, and I had often heard stories that whenever there is a strong wind it gets locked in the Hampden bowl and plays all sorts of tricks with the ball. On this day, there was a gale of wet wind swirling around the game and it was a nightmare trying to decide whether to come off my line for crosses and centres in case the ball suddenly changed course. Davie Wilson fired a corner kick high into the six-yard box. It was a goalkeeper's ball all the way and I shouted 'mine' as I left my line to collect it. But suddenly the ball was trapped by the wind and stopped as if it had brakes on it. I was left clutching thin air as Alan Gilzean stole in front of me and nodded the ball into the net with what was his specialty flick header. As the ball went into the net I swear the Hampden Roar could have been heard way down over Hadrian's Wall.' 

Source Notes

"England began their preparations here for the International against Scotland with a practice game this evening against Ayr United at Somerset Park. For what the information is worth, England scored seven goals to the club's two. Mr A. Ramsey, who refereed, asked the Ayr players to play their usual game to give his team, who apart from training sessions, have not played together for five months, as thorough a chance as is possible in such get-togethers to become reacquainted. The game also gave Hunt and Byrne, who are in the side for a home International for the first time, the opportunity to fit in with the style of play Mr Ramsey has worked out for them. It at once became clear that despite the failure of the Football League team to adapt themselves to a 4-2-4 system at Sunderland Mr Ramsey is going to persist with this formation. But now he has Milne linking in mid-field with Eastham instead of Kay, with Moore for the most part staying back beside Norman.
"These players looked more effective playing to forwards who took it in turns to provide the striking head of the line. One interesting tactic, which may or may not be repeated on Saturday, was that Byrne and Hunt, alternated at centre-forward, lying upfield. Charlton, as usual, was the other chief threat as a goal scorer. England scored through Charlton (2), Hunt (2) and Byrne (3). Ayr United's goals were scored by Kilgannon and McMillan." - Thursday, 9 April 1964, The Glasgow Herald
