Diary

Monday, 20 April 1959 - The England selectors, as well as naming the Senior team and tour party, have named the under-23 side that will face the Senior team on 1 May and who will participate with the Intermediate side on their tour of Italy and West Germany. Jimmy Greaves and Jimmy Armfield will go to Milan to play for the under-23's against Italy on 7 May, returning to join the tour party who leave on 8 May.

Friday, 1 May 1959 - England 3 Young England 3:- "This match at Highbury should have been a showpiece. It was a flop—despite the score. Most of the players didn't put much effort into their game and many of the 34,212 fans, who were charged top prices, left half an hour after the game started. Ron Flowers put England ahead in fifteen minutes. In the 29th minute, Bobby Charlton made it 20. Two minutes later Charlton hammered home a drive. But Ray Parry clipped the lead. In the fifty-seventh minute Ray Pointer scored for Young England. Then Jimmy Greaves grabbed the equaliser." - Bill Holden, Daily Mirror

Tuesday, 5 May 1959 - Instead of training with the Young England team, Fulham goalkeeper, Tony Macedo, was in hospital. He received two penicillin injections for two painful boils in the hope that the treatment will clear up the trouble and enable hi to earn his first representative honour. All other members of the team are fit.

Wednesday, 6 May 1959 - This morning, all eleven starting players and six reserves left London Airport for Milan.
