unused substitutes: Peter Shilton, Bob McNab, Ralph Coates.
substitute notes: The twentieth England substitute, Brian Kidd, scores the seventh goal by a substitute. The first for six years. He is the youngest player to be a substitute so far (until September 1977), and also the quickest, youngest and least experienced to score, so far, five minutes, from coming on and then scoring.
Bobby Charlton is the oldest and most experienced player to be replaced by a substitute, so far.
It is the third time in England's history of using substitutes that two have been used in the same match, but the first time that those two players come from the same club. It is a record that takes Manchester United clear of West Ham United (5 - 3) in the 'clubs providing substitutes' list.
For the first time, both substitute appearances are provided from the same club.
A record eight substitutions have been made throughout the 1969-70 season.

England literally went up into the clouds for this final warm-up match before the start of their World Cup defence. Quito is more than 9,000 feet above sea level, and the ball swerved around like a boomerang. Francis Lee gave England the lead and was then substituted in the seventieth minute by Brian Kidd, who scored a second goal. Ironically, Kidd had been told he was one of six players not included in the final World Cup squad of twenty-two. It was during a stop-over in Bogota on the flight back to Mexico that Bobby Moore was arrested on a trumped-up jewel-theft charge following an allegation that he had stolen a bracelet from a hotel shop. He was held under house arrest for five days before the British ambassador negotiated his release. It would be another two years before his name was finally cleared. Nobody who knew Bobby ever doubted his innocence.
