Match Report

 It
took a fifty-fourth minute equaliser from Tony Adams to save England from
the embarrassment of defeat in a match that many considered was an
unnecessary fixture in England's international calendar. Sheffield
Wednesday right-back Mel Sterland won his one and only England cap, and
Brian Marwood's England career lasted just nine minutes when he followed
Arsenal clubmate Alan Smith on as a substitute to bring the Highbury
contingent to five players including goalkeeper David Seaman. The result
inspired another anti-Robson headline: 'In the name of Allah go!'
