    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

England cruised to a comfortable victory in a bruising Home Championship match in which Peter Storey and Terry Yorath,  two of the hardest men in the League, had a personal feud, with Norman Hunter often joining in on Storey's side. Leading 1-0 from a first-half goal by Emlyn Hughes, England clinched victory with two goals in a minute midway through the second-half. Rodney Marsh scored with a first-time volley from eighteen yards, and then Mike Summerbee laid on the third goal for his Manchester City team-mate Colin Bell. Malcolm Macdonald made a bright debut in the number nine England jersey.
