Match Report
by Bill Holden, Daily Mirror, Thursday, 24
September 1959 |
ENGLAND expected so
much—in vain. And the Hungarian jinx still retain its hold on
British Soccer. The Hungarians were unbeaten in their trips here since the war, with a win
over England at Wembley and a draw with Scotland in Glasgow.
And now their Under-23 side is the first
non-full international team to win over here. With so much to gain—places
for them in the full England team wide open—only Chelsea's chirpy Jimmy
Greaves showed anything like his normal form. It was painful to
watch this England flop. The partisan Everton crowd was behind them all
the way . . . ready tp roar their appreciation if the ball was booted in
the direction of the Hungarian goal. But it failed
to inspire our youngsters, who just fell further away.
Occasionally there was a suggestion that wing halves Maurice Setters and
Wilf McGuinness might whip the team into action. Unhappily, their drive
had no lasting effect. Bobby Charlton, so often the goal-grabbing genius,
seemed to have lost his golden touch. Greaves looked the only likely man
in attack, followed by the new boy Eddie Holliday of Middlesbrough. This
left winger should have another chance. But as an attacking power England
just weren't in it. The Hungarian forwards were no
better and it was left half Solymoss who snapped their winner in the
fifty-fifth minute.
Young England lost—and they cannot complain.
The team just did not produce the skill that was expected of them. A
foolish failure, for it will be a miracle if they are still together for
the next Under-23 match against France in November.

Match Report
as appears in the F.A. Yearbook 1960-61 page
34 |
FOLLOWING creditable performances by
the Under-23 team against Italy and West Germany during the close season,
there was some justification for optimism in this opening match against
Hungary but, instead, history repeated itself. Nearly six years previously
the Hungarians had lowered England's colours for the first time in a Home
International, and it happened once again with the Under-23 team. Hungary
were lucky this time, however, and owed much to a superb defence. The rest
of the team's play lacked the sparkle of their famous predecessors of
1953, and England were fortunate not to equalise in the second half.
Holliday on the left-wing made a promising début; Cohen, Scott and
McGuinness also did well. Rakosi scored the only goal.
