Match Report
by Norman Giller |
George Best had an opportunist goal disallowed after flicking the ball away
from Gordon Banks as the England goalkeeper threw it up in preparation for
a kicked clearance. Many people considered it a magical piece of
skill and impudence by Best, but Scottish referee MacKenzie decided he had
been guilty of dangerously high kicking and, much to the annoyance of Best
and the crowd, he awarded England a free-kick. Allan Clarke's winning goal
ten minutes from the end brought off-side claims from the Irish defenders
who also insisted that Francis Lee had handled the ball before passing to
Clarke. It was not Ireland's lucky day. Paul Madeley, Leeds United's
versatile defender, came in at right back as Sir Alf Ramsey continued to
search for the perfect blend and balance at full back.
