Player-manager Dave Clements also played for Northern Ireland against England on
six previous occasions in 1967, and 1970 until 1974, scoring a penalty
in 1973. Thus continuing the trend of former Irish players becoming
managers since 1951. |

Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England equalled their
record of six consecutive clean sheets in a match that provided an
emotional return to Belfast for the first time in four years. The Irish
defence, in which goalkeeper Pat Jennings, right-back Pat Rice and
centre-half Allan Hunter were outstanding, allowed the England forwards
little time and space in which to work. 'We were given a wonderful welcome
by the crowd,'' said Don Revie, 'and we are disappointed that we did not
provide them with a better spectacle. All credit to the Irish defenders.
They worked their socks off, but we should have had at least two goals to
show for our supremacy.'
