               Match Report by Derek Wallis, Daily Mirror, Thursday, 17 March 1960

GEORGE EASTHAM, frail looking inside right, smoothed the way for England with a stream of choice passes that ought to have scattered the Dutch defence in this Under-23 international at Hillsborough last night. England commanded the first half, but the Dutch defence covered superbly. And in breakaway attacks their inside trio, passing quickly and cleverly, often left the England halves floundering. It was from just such a slashing move after seven minutes that Holland took the lead. England's defence was ripped wide open when in a few rapid strides, inside left Prins took a return pass from Groot and hammered a peach of a shot past Macedo. In twenty-one minutes, England won a penalty when Jimmy Greaves, speeding through the area, was brought down as two Dutch defenders closed in. Eastham took the spot kick and hit it coolly and leisurely into the net.
 
Greaves put England in the lead from a free-kick in the forty-ninth minute. Captain Maurice Setters shaped as if to take it, but ran over the ball and Greaves slammed it into the net. One minute later, centre forward Joe Baker made it 3—1 with a back header which Jongbloed, the Dutch goalkeeper, should have saved. But Holland scored in the very next minute through Prins. Then, in the fifty-eighth minute, another goal by baker made it 4-2 to England.

  
Paine scored England's final goal.

   

               Match Report as appears in the F.A. Yearbook 1960-61 page 36

Prins opened the scoring for the Netherlands after 7 minutes, and a quarter of an hour later Eastham equalised from a penalty kick. Goals from Baker (2) and Greaves, with another from Prins in between, gave England a 4-2 lead early in the second half, which Paine increased near the end, Setters and Cohen both excelled, while Greaves was a menace in attack, though he never reached the form he had shown at Ibrox. Once again Baker did well at centre-forward, Eastham was a clever schemer, and Paine, introduced at outside-right, certainly justified his choice. Macedo could not be faulted.
