All information is complete to and including
England's sixteenth intermediate match, against Italy on 7 May 1959.
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.
Thursday, 7 May 1959 - Young Italy 0 Young England 3:-
"Young England showed 80,000 Italians here that Englishmen really
can play power-football. So complete was their mastery that it
could easily have been a six-goal walloping. They set about their
task with such determination that long before the end of the
fiercely partisan crowd acknowledged their domination. When the
Italians came out for the second half, two goals down, the crowd
yelled 'Bidoni, Bidon' (dustbins!), whistled and hurled cushions
at the players. Only a handful of English officials and 200
British sailors from H M S Thorn, who had journeyed from Trieste
armed with a klaxon, enjoyed this prestige moment of solidarity in
defence and skilful, hard-hitting penetration in an imaginative
attack. The swift tackling, dominant half-back line of Maurice
Setters, Trevor Smith and Tony Kay gave England confidence in
defence. The deadly flashing feet of inside left Ray Parry, the
wing surge of Peter Brabrook and Albert Scanlon, supporting
ever-trying leader Ray Pointer, gave us sparkling superiority in
attack. Skipper Jimmy Armfield edged about inside right Jimmy
Greaves in the race to get into the England team for Rio. In 24
minutes centre-half Vasco Tagliavini sliced his kick to Parry, who
picked his spot and fired in a snorting left-footer. Five minutes
later Parry hit a goalpost and Pointer scored from the rebound.
The crowd's whistling reached its height 11 minutes after
half-time. Trevor Smith stopped an attack and from well inside his
own half set off to beat man after man before tapping the ball to
Pointer for an easy goal." -
Peter Lorenzo, Daily Herald
Friday, 8 May 1959 - As Jimmy's Armfield and Greaves
and manager Walter Winterbottom return
to England, after catching a night train between Milan and Zürich, to join the senior party, the remaining fifteen players,
and Ron Greenwood, 'who is here on his first international
executive assignment,'
traveled north to Bochum, near Düsseldorf. The team were
cheered by the Milan hotel staff, and clapped by workmen along the
coach route to the airport. After a smooth 500-mile air journey,
the party, on board their coaches, were lost for 70 minutes before
finding their hotel, despite two German FA officials on board. Trevor Smith is almost certain to
miss the match after injuring his right ankle against Italy. Ray
Pointer has also damaged an ankle. Peter Dobing is also a doubtful starter because of
a throat infection. Dave Pacey
will likely replace Smith as centre-half whereas Maurice Setters
will take over as captain. John Angus will replace Armfield.
