"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." -

Matches were of eighty minutes'
duration (two halves of forty minutes each) in the UEFA Youth Tournament,
and the standard ninety minutes in most other matches.
With thanks to Dave Birt for finding the
additional Scotland game in 1972, and to Freidhelm Henke for his
contributions. |
The age criteria changed slightly in-line
with that of the English Schools' Football Association, in that players
whose 18th birthday fell in August were now eligible to play for England
until the end of the following July. The cut-off date had been pushed back
from the beginning of September to the beginning of August in each season.

This match was re-scheduled to a Tuesday afternoon kick-off due to an
electricity workers' strike, so was poorly attended. Ex-youth
internationals, Clive Charles and John McDowell were in the home team, as
were Johnny Ayris, who would won his youth cap at the end of the season, and
Joe Durrell, who had already impressed in the previous month's trial game.
16-year-old Trevor Francis came on at half-time and made a big impression.
Trevor Smith was a late addition to the squad. In addition to the players
listed above, the following were also invited to a training session at
Lilleshall on 11 January 1971, with the intention of playing fixtures
against both Aston Villa's and Birmingham City's youth teams on the
following day: J.Ayris, I.Bacon, S.Carter, M.Dowling, R.Harding, P.Harris,
J.House, P.Latchford, K.Lock, M.Munro, A.Potrac, D.Shanks, B.Stonehouse,
J.Watson and E.Young (Clarke, Holbrook, McAuley and O'Neil were not listed).
It is not known whether these games were played, but as Birmingham were
involved in an FA Youth Cup replay against West Bromwich Albion on that
date, Francis of Birmingham and Latchford of West Brom were almost certainly
not involved with England, and Birmingham's coach was Bill Shorthouse, who
was due to lead the England session and matches. |

16-year-old Trevor Francis was withdrawn after picking up ankle and knee

Tilsed was the first to take advantage of the new age-criteria as this was

division for West Ham United, whilst Busby and Phillips had also made league

withdrew with tonsilitis. The new skipper was debutant, Bobby Parker, who

Lock was a replacement for Malcolm Munro, who had withdrawn from the squad
because of injury. A bizarre incident occurred in the 55th minute when
Francis ended up getting tangled in the net chasing a cross, causing the
post and crossbar to collapse onto his legs. It took twenty minutes to build
the woodwork up again, and Francis continued with a heavily-strapped thigh
which would cause him to miss the semi-final, as England won the group
without conceding a goal. |

Controversy raged as English referee, John Rice disallowed a Spanish goal
for offside, and Bradshaw scored the opening goal whilst the Spaniards were
still protesting. They stormed off the pitch and the game was delayed for
several minutes. After four 'friendly' meetings in less than a year, both
countries would look elsewhere for future warm-up games before the UEFA
Youth Tournament. Captain, Kevin Lock had made his first-division debut for
West Ham United, two weeks earlier. |

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. Having just won the FA Youth Cup, and made his
third-division debut, 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.
He was one of three additions to the original squad, the others being Barry
Powell, and Steve Powell, who at 16 had played in Derby County's final match
of the season, 24 hours earlier, a win that would secure them their first
league championship title, seven nights later. A curious inconsistency
arose, two years later, when Barry Powell was selected by the Welsh under-23
team to face England, but had to withdraw because of the minutes that he had
played at Villa Park in what appears to have been an unofficial
international. He did, however, go on to make four under-23 appearances for
England, so it was, perhaps, a sneaky way to keep him for the Three Lions! Also on the night before the
game, Chelsea's Gary Locke, and Alan Green (who had just debuted
for Coventry City as a substitute in the first division) were playing against each other in
the Southern Junior Floodlit Cup Final, and they were both released from the
international squad to play in it, with a second leg, four nights later.
Trevor Francis was withdrawn so that he could help Birmingham City to clinch
promotion to the first division, winning at Orient on the following evening,
and another top striker withdrawn was Peter Eastoe, who was an unused
substitute for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the following night's UEFA Cup
Final first leg. Mick Buckley was the fifth player released from the squad
and was on the substitute's bench for Everton's last first-division match of
the season, on the same evening as the international. Steve Cammack and Phil
Thompson had both made recent debuts in the first division. The only goal
was scored by 17-year-old Frank Gray of Leeds United, with future Footballer
of the Year, Kenny Burns of Villa's close rivals, Birmingham City, also in
the Scotland team, who narrowly missed out on a semi-final place in Spain on
goal difference behind eventual finalists, West Germany, despite beating
them. |

Following European success in the previous season, Gordon Milne had become
Coventry City's manager, and his new club had a private practice match with
the new triallists, two weeks before the game with the previous season's FA
Youth Cup finalists, played at Tranmere as Anfield was unavailable. Milne
was succeeded as England's coach by Tony Waiters, who then became manager of
third-division Plymouth Argyle, but continued with the youths. |

England's first win in Scotland for ten years (at amateur or professional
youth level) was secured amidst a snowstorm and appalling weather conditions
which reduced the attendance quite significantly. Andy Gray, who won honours
with Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton, before a broadcasting
career with Sky Sports, scored a late consolation goal. |

In driving rain, England fell to a goal, six minutes from time, by
16-year-old Paolo Rossi, who transformed Italy's fortunes as they won the
World Cup in 1982, whilst he picked up the Golden Boot as the tournament's
top scorer. The Derby County pair of Alan Lewis and Steve Powell both
withdrew from the squad with broken noses. Hicks, an ever-present for Oldham
Athletic in the third division, came in. Impey, McLaughlin, Morley,
Phillips and Siddall had also played in the Football League, and Keeley was

After making his third appearance for England, Fulham offered Jeff Bryant a
professional contract, only to find that he had falsified his age to play
for both England and Fulham (in the FA Youth Cup). He was actually 19 years
of age, and the Football Association banned him until the beginning of 1974,
when he resumed his professional career with Wimbledon in the Southern
League. Though England had retained their title, and it was to be their
last, there is surely considerable doubt as to whether all of their points
should have been diverted to their opponents and the title awarded to
Scotland (who had finished runners-up). |

In what was considered to be the Romanian referee's error, Glenn Keeley was

gave one of the cards to Alan Lewis, who had been booked in the first game,

Like Gordon Milne in the season before him, Tony Waiters had given up his
role to concentrate on his club career, and took third-division Plymouth
Argyle to the Football League Cup semi-finals. So, once again, despite three
successive European triumphs, the youths had a new coach. Tom Saunders had
been the schoolboys' team manager for three years and was Youth Development
Officer at Liverpool, where he became a key member of the famous 'Boot Room'
where much of their success in the 1970s was planned. Barry Donaghy was a
late withdrawal and was replaced by the home team's Whitehead, who had
played for England's amateur team in the previous season, and provided
assists for both goals. Garner and Brian Smith were also additions to the
squad, presumably to replace two of the listed reserves. |

Five players had to withdraw; Paul Cahill and Ray Hankin were injured
(though Hankin played on both of the Saturdays either side of the
international), and Brian Kettle, Steve Powell (who would have been captain,
but the yellow card that he had received in the previous year's final meant
that he was suspended, presumably discovered after he had been named in the
squad)
and Clive Whitehead were all recalled by their clubs for FA Cup replays
(though Kettle and Whitehead did not appear in the games which were played
on the previous day). Stirk and Turner were replacements. The game was
played on a Wednesday afternoon, because of the ongoing power crisis, and
attracted a poor attendance figure. Donaghy (playing on his home ground),
Swindlehurst and Syrett had each made their league debuts earlier in the
season in the second division, and Garner had debuted at the end of the
previous season, and was now a first-team regular, whilst Powling had appeared for Arsenal in
the first division. |

A goal, six minutes from time, ended England's quest for a fourth successive
title, as Wales repeated their 1970 feat and despatched England from the
tournament, winning the group on goal-difference. England needed a point to
qualify. Goalkeeper, Dick Taylor, making his international debut, had played
twice for Huddersfield Town in the third division, earlier in the season.
Ray Hankin withdrew, as he had for all four of England's fixtures, though
this time he was playing for Burnley at Chelsea at the same time as the
international. John Stirk may have had to withdraw because he was serving a
three-match suspension picked up with Ipswich Town Reserves, as he had yet
to make a first-team appearance. Goalkeeping substitute, Paul Bradshaw had
played for his club, Blackburn Rovers, on the night before the game, at
Bristol Rovers, losing 3-0. |

With five minutes to go before half-time, England were three goals up on
aggregate, the Welsh goalkeeper had gone off injured and Gwyn Thomas covered
for him until half-time when a substitute was finally introduced. Thomas
then led the fightback and Wales went through on away goals. |

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."
