This is the second occasion that two substitutes are making their England debuts (the first time being against Wales in March 1976), but the first instance of them never playing for the senior side again.
Goddard is the twentieth and Perryman the 21sth players to mark their debuts as a substitute.

captain notes:

Phil Neal becomes the ninth captain used by Greenwood, extending the record of different captains used per manager already held by Greenwood.

    Match Report by Mike Payne

 

    Match Report by Norman Giller

Ron Greenwood fielded his second-string team from his World Cup squad, and they struggled in difficult conditions on a frozen pitch to hold an enthusiastic Iceland team. Paul Goddard, making his debut as a substitute for injured Cyrille Regis, cancelled out Iceland's twenty-third minute lead when he ran on to a precise pass from Glenn Hoddle and steered the ball home in the sixty-ninth minute. It was Goddard's only cap, and he found his way into the record books by becoming the first England player to score while playing less than a full match. Glenn Hoddle looked the pick of the England players on an uneven surface that made ball control difficult.
