right-back then attempted to run off the injury but collapsed again
over a minute later (47:56) and was replaced by Wright whilst
receiving further treatment. |

Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England started their World Cup defence as they had finished it in 1966,
with Geoff Hurst emerging as the goal-scoring hero. His goal in the
seventieth minute - the ball going through the legs of the Rumanian
goalkeeper - was enough to give England a winning send-off. Captain Bobby
Moore, back with the squad after his harrowing experience in Colombia, was
the outstanding defender on the pitch. It was a satisfactory rather than
spectacular start by England against opponents who concentrated solely on
defence in a bid to squeeze a draw out of a hard-fought match. The
one worry for England was an injury to right-back Keith Newton, but his
Everton clubmate Tommy Wright proved a sound substitute.
