    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Mike Bailey, Ron Flowers and Gerry Young formed a makeshift half-back line because of injuries. There was also an experimental inside-forward trio, with Frank Wignall the spearhead to Roger Hunt and Johnny Byrne. Nottingham Forest centre-forward Wignall scored both England goals before Cliff Jones netted for Wales. There were only 40,000 spectators at Wembley, and the game lacked atmosphere and direction.
