team notes: |
Maurice Setters was sent-off for West Bromwich Albion FC against
Sheffield Wednesday FC in a league match. It was the selector's policy
not to choose a player with such a recent expulsion. The committee
ignored his misfortune as they did not want to prejudice the decision
of the disciplinary committee. Joe Baker was a doubt after injuring
his shin in Hibernians match with St. Mirren on the Saturday. The
French FA requested that England not include Full Internationals.
For the first time, two English-born Scots are chosen - Joe Baker and
Chris Crowe. |

Match Report
by Ken Jones, Daily Mirror, Thursday, 12
November 1959 |
JOE BAKER, nineteen-year-old Hibs centre-forward who leads the full
England attack against Ireland next Wednesday, crashed Young England into
the lead three minutes after half-time under the Roker Park floodlights
here [last] night. Skipper Maurice Setters worked a slick free-kick move
on the edge of the French penalty area, and the Baker boy positioned
himself superbly to head the ball into the far corner.
Baker had taken just five minutes to hit his way into the hearts of the
the critical North-Eastern fans. He did it with a flashing header from a
right-wing cross just after the start. And for the
most of the first half Baker was a force one-man attacking force.
His flashing feet sparked off most of England's moves, and three times his
darting headers were only inches off the target. French danger man centre
forward Yvon Goujon had shocked England's youngsters after only four
minutes. His sparking run laid on a chance for left winger Francois Heutte,
whose close-range shot had Tony Macedo diving desperately to punch away.
Most of the French attacks came from the left wing, and Fulham's George
Cohen was having a tough time trying to pin down the sparkling Huette.
Right half Setters got England out of trouble with a great through ball to
left winger John Sydenham. But the young Southampton star was having an
unhappy international debut. Baker apart, there was little in England's
attack to suggest that they would hit France hard and quickly.
Newcastle's inside left, George Eastham, sparkled in the first
fifteen minutes but faded. He came back after half an hour
with a jinking run that took him past three men, but was then bundled off
the ball. England were unlucky not to have gone ahead in the thirty-third
minute. Blackburn inside-right [Peter] Dobing hammered home a
twenty-five-yard free-kick, but it was ruled out by an offside decision.
Baker was back in the picture again before the interval with a dazzling
jump that powered the ball across the goalmouth with the French 'keeper
beaten. Right winger Chris Crowe crashed England into a two-goal lead in
the sixty-second minute. The Leeds man cut past full back Chorda to hammer
the ball behind the French 'keeper into the top far corner. Twelve minutes
from the end French goalkeeper Clement went off and Taillandur (Racing)
took over. |

The most noteworthy feature was the
masterly way in which Baker led the English forwards. Supported by
hard-working colleagues, he was always a menace to the French defence,
even when marked by two opponents. Setters, a tireless worker, also gave a
polished display at right-half, though our defence had little trouble in
keeping the French at bay. England would have scored more often it they
had not over-schemed when close to goal. Baker netted the first, 2 minutes
after the interval; Crowe, accepting a through-pass from right-back Cohen,
added a second after 62 minutes.
