detection: Sliles, however, protested to much and had his name taken".
Cautioned in the 57th min. for Foul.
"Stiles, a sort of honorary hatchetman for
England, again had his name taken for a crushing tackle on
[Johnstone]". |

Match Report

 Geoff Hurst
scored his first goal for England in the nineteenth minute to start a
spree that excited the 133,000 crowd but made purists wince at the
procession of defensive blunders by both teams. Hunt added a second goal
for England before Denis Law threw himself forward in typical dare-devil
style to head Scotland's first goal just before half-time. Hunt made
it 3-1 early in the second-half, and then Celtic's jinking winger Jimmy
Johnstone pulled it back to 3-2 before a thunderbolt shot from Bobby
Charlton restored the two-goal lead. This was Charlton in imperious form
as he reveled in his role as midfield orchestrator. Johnstone,
turning the England defence inside out with his dribbling runs, scored the
final goal six minutes from the end with a delicate curling shot that
deceived goalkeeper Gordon Banks. A press reporter said to Alf Ramsey
immediately after the match, 'A great game to watch, Alf.' The cold blue
eyes became a burning glare on the journalist. 'For you maybe,' said Alf,
'but I thought there was some appalling football played. We must be much,
much tighter.' Seven-goal thrillers did not belong in the Ramsey textbook.
Once a perfectionist right-back, always a perfectionist right-back.
