Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
In a match
dominated by defences Emlyn Hughes came closest to scoring in the
first-half when he raced sixty yards before unleashing a shot that rattled
the Swedish crossbar. Ron Greenwood made nine changes for a game staged to
mark the 75th anniversary of the Swedish FA, and the England manager
decided to use the occasion to try out fringe players. Two splendid saves
by Peter Shilton stopped the Swedes from celebrating their milestone with
a victory. Shilton's performance made Greenwood reconsider his view that
Ray Clemence was his No 1 choice goalkeeper, and he started to play them
in alternative matches. Many people considered he should have stopped
dithering and given the top spot to Shilton without any hesitation.
