Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England were fortunate not
to be three goals down before Peter Taylor scored the only goal of a
scrappy match with a low shot from twenty yards in the fifty-ninth minute.
Eight of England's players between them had just ten caps, with Tony
Towers, Brian Greenhoff and Stuart Pearson making their debuts. Only some
exceptional goalkeeping by Ray Clemence saved England from defeat, and the
player turnover was so great that many people were beginning to question
Don Revie's grasp of international management.
