team notes: |
Jimmy Greaves extends his record as top goalscorer for England with his
record sixth hat-trick, and Ron
Springett extends his record of being England's most capped
goalkeeper.
Greaves also became the record goalscorer of friendly
goals. His third goal in this match equalled the record (18) held by
Tom Finney, followed by his fourth goal to break the record. |

Jimmy
Greaves scored four goals for the second time in his international career
against a Norwegian team that was out of its depth. A misplaced back pass
by Ron Flowers gifted the Norwegians a fourth minute lead, but from then
on England totally dominated play. Greaves scored all his goals in the
first-half and was now top England goalscorer with 43 goals from 49
international matches. Bobby Moore got on the scoresheet with a
twenty-five yard drive that could have come from the boot of Bobby
Charlton, who created the sixth goal for John Connelly in a second-half
played at exhibition pace. FA and Chelsea chairman Joe Mears, a long-time
friend and supporter of Greaves, died of a heart attack in Oslo the day
after the match, which threw a blanket of despair over the entire squad.
Mears, 'Mr Chelsea', had been a driving force in the preparations for
England's hosting of the World Cup finals.
