Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
The Charlton brothers were both on
the score-sheet and Geoff Hurst netted twice against a Welsh team that
telegraphed their tactics by continually trying to play long balls to
their twin strikers Wyn Davies and Ron Davies. Apart from a consolation
headed goal by Wyn Davies, the England defence comfortably controlled the
Welsh attack by shutting out their supply line from the wings. With both
the Home Championship and qualification for the European championships at
stake, the game had a hard competitive edge and the final scoreline
flattered the world champions who were helped by an own goal from one of
the hardest workers on the pitch, Terry Hennessey. Bobby Moore, playing in
his fiftieth international, was exceptional in an England defence that was
at its dominant best. This was to prove the last match in which the famous
World Cup winning XI played together.
