"An important National Conference on youth football was held at Nottingham in October, 1970, and was attended by representatives of The Football Association, the Football League, the English Schools' F.A., County Football Associations, and numerous other kindred organisations concerned with the affairs of the youth. It was the first conference of its kind for a number of years and the opportunity was taken to discuss many matters of vital importance concerning the organisation of the game at schoolboy and youth level. One of the recommendations was that The Football Association should establish and support regional youth Councils, such Councils to be responsible for providing a forum from which well-informed and effective remedies to youth football problems might be developed." - The Official F.A. Yearbook, 1971-72, p96.

With thanks to Dave Birt for finding the additional Scotland game in 1972, and to Freidhelm Henke for his contributions.

With the two rivals meeting annually in amateur youth internationals, they would only ever meet at professional level when they were drawn together in the UEFA Youth Tournament. This meeting was arranged as a warm-up match for both teams for the upcoming tournament in Spain. Curiously, even though it included the top players in each side, it was never acknowledged as an official youth international by the Football Association, and it has never even been listed in any yearbooks. Presumably, no caps were awarded for the game, though England did wear their usual shirts, with YOUTH in a scroll below the emblem. It was Brian Little's only appearance at this level, and on his home ground, but he is never listed as being a youth international.

England are eliminated in the qualifying phase of the 29th (Hungary) UEFA Youth Tournament

Season 1976-77
Tournoi Juniors de Monaco
This tournament was played using three experimental rule variations. Kick-ins were used instead of throw-ins, short corners were taken when the ball went out from the penalty area, and there were temporary sendings off ('sin-bins') for ten minutes. Ricky Hill became the first English player ever to be temporarily dismissed. None of the innovations was deemed to be a success.

"Ken Burton has quit as joint manager of the England youth team. Burton's shock decision almost certainly stems from events on the recent trip to Las Palmas when Brian Clough and Peter Taylor took control of the team for matches. I was on that trip and Burton was clearly hurt at being eased into the background. He feels that Clough and Taylor's involvement has made his own position untenable. The hard-working Burton was the only full-time member of Ron Greenwood's back-up team." - Jack Steggles, Daily Mirror, Friday, 27 October 1978
   27 October 1978: Brian Clough
The youth squad was selected by the England senior team manager, Ron Greenwood, but Clough withdrew, citing club commitments, before the tournament, and John Cartwright took charge.
