FC, who are due to play Everton FC, refused to release their three
Scottish players, Bill Brown, Dave Mackay, and John White, and therefore,
their match was not postponed. |
team notes: |
Rangers FC's George Niven was the original chosen goalkeeper, also a
debutant, but because of a back strain that has been troubling him for
a couple of weeks, his place went to Haffey on 6 April. The Scots
team had intended to play a full-scale practice match against the under-23 side on Thursday, but four of his side, from Celtic and Rangers,
were involved in the Cup semi-final replay the night previously. |

league notes: |
For the first time ever, the Football League postponed the match
between Wolverhampton Wanderers FC and West Ham United FC to be played
on this day, because at least two players from one team are involved
in the international fixture. At the time of the decision, 1 April,
Wolves had two players involved with England, and with the Midlands
club lying one point behind Tottenham Hotspur FC, the League did not
want to hand the Londoners an unfair advantage. The new rule will come
into force anyway, from next season. |
pre-match notes: |
On 5th April, the England team trained and used the facilities at
Burnden Park. They beat the hosts, Bolton Wanderers FC, 2-0 in a
forty-minute practice match (Broadbent and Baker scoring). The day
after, they were at Turf Moor and playing against Burnley FC. England
beat the hosts 3-2 after being two goals down (Charlton two goals, one
a penalty kick, and a Marshall own goal). |
team notes: |
A knee injury prevented
Johnny Haynes (Fulham FC
(FL 10th)) to take his place at inside-right. Broadbent taking
his place on 4 April. Ron Clayton recovered from tonsillitis in
time to take his place and Ray Parry confirmed that he suffered no
further ankle trouble. He became the fifth most used
post-war/Winterbottom/ISC player. Ray Wilson played all but two minutes of this
match with a broken nose, following a collision with Leggat. Joe Baker
was off the field for treatment on a damaged shoulder following a collision with the
Scottish goalkeeper. |
penalty notes: |
On
describing earning the first penalty awarded
"[Charlton] was intercepted by an apparently ordinary tackle from
MacKay in the 49th minute, the outside-left collapsed with theatrical
thoroughness, like a character who had swallowed poison in the third
act of a Victorian melodrama."
- The Scotsman, Monday, 11 April
1960. He becomes the first player to take four
penalty kicks for England and the third player to score three
penalty-kicks, alongside Alf Ramsey and Tom Finney. |
Following the usual pre-match training
sessions, the England party were again, set up in Troon, from the Thursday
night, training at Kilmarnock. |

Match Report
by Mike Payne |
A
STRONG wind and some inconsistent refereeing decisions made for a very
disappointing match at Hampden Park in this annual game between two old
adversaries. Scotland, seeking their first victory on home soil against
England since 1937, should have won handsomely and but for some woeful
finishing would have done. At the end of the day, though, they were lucky
to escape with a draw.
St John was a
real livewire at centre-forward and gave Bill Slater a torrid time
throughout the game. The Wolves defender suffered a nightmare. Four
excellent chances were created down the middle for Scotland and each one
of them stemmed from an inexplicable error by Slater.
In the 17th minute, one of them was punished
by Leggat. Ron Flowers had just thundered a free-kick against the Scottish
crossbar before Scotland broke quickly into attack. Slater lost the ball
in the air to St John, but recovered to regain possession, only to then
set up Leggat with a disastrously short back-pass. The winger sped forward
to plant a splendid shot wide of Ron Springett's dive.
Immediately
after the goal, Baker scrambled the ball into the Scottish net after
challenging Haffey. It was reminiscent of Nat Lofthouse's goal in the 1958
Cup Final, but this time the referee ruled out the effort. So at
half-time, Scotland led, for the first time since the war, much to the
delight of the crowd. But England, now with the wind at their backs, were
soon level after the interval.
Baker, who received little support
from his inside-forwards Ray Parry and Peter Broadbent, sent a fine pass
to Bobby Charlton. The winger strode into the penalty area and was brought
down by a trip from full-back MacKay. Not for the first time in the match,
the [Hungarian] referee's decision was not entirely agreed upon. However,
a penalty it was and Charlton himself took it, sending Haffey the wrong
way with his spot-kick.
Later, the other chances courtesy of Mr
Slater duly presented themselves. Three times, errors on the ground left
St John free, but each time the number-nine lost his composure and
Springett out-thought him to make the save.
Springett was
undoubtedly England's main saviour and he again gave a very assured
performance. Twice more he made brave saves at the feet of Leggat and St
John. Flowers, too, had a fine game and was full of tireless effort. For
Ray Wilson it was an eventful match. He looked composed and confident and
enjoyed an excellent debut, all this after the full-back had broken his
nose in the second minute!
For Scotland, Haffey looked decidedly
shaky at times but their star was the red-haired Evans, who was
outstanding and rock-like in defence. The other impressive Scot was the
tireless Law at inside-left. He covered every inch of Hampden in
supporting both his defence and his attack, showing immense stamina and
true Scottish fire. Ronnie Clayton could not get near him and the
blond-haired will-o-the-wisp enjoyed every moment of it.
An amazing
incident could easily have swung the match England's way near the end.
After showing a distant lack of thrust all through, they were suddenly
awarded a second penalty. Charlton again took the kick, only to shoot
straight at Haffey. The referee ordered a retake as Caldow had encroached
into the penalty area and amid deafening boos , Charlton had another
chance. This time he made a total hash of it, shooting well wide.
Perhaps that was justice in a way as Scotland, at the very least, deserved
their draw.

Match Report
by Norman Giller |
Tottenham brought the club-or-country issue to boiling point by refusing
to release their three Scots, Dave Mackay, Bill Brown and John White, for
this match. The referee awarded fifty-five free-kicks and three penalties,
two of which were missed. Bobby Charlton converted from the penalty spot,
and failed to find the net with a second twice-taken penalty. Graham
Leggat, partnered by lan St John and Denis Law, scored Scotland's goal
following a suicidal back pass from Bill Slater. This gave Scotland a
half-time lead over England for the first time since the war, but
Charlton's successful second-half penalty meant they had now gone since
1937 without beating the auld enemy on home territory. Ray Wilson,
starting his distinguished England career at left-back, played on despite
collecting a broken nose in the second minute, and Joe Baker battled on
with a dislocated shoulder. Surely somebody would one day see the sense
for substitutes, even if only for injured players?

Match Report
as appears in the F.A. Yearbook 1960-61 pages 36
& 37 |
In a game spoilt by bad conditions, a
bumpy pitch, and too many minor stoppages, the standard of play fell well
below that expected of this great annual contest. England reshaped their
team with Armfield and Wilson at full-back, Slater at centre-half, and
Charlton at outside-left; Broadbent was reintroduced at inside-right in
playe of Haynes who had been injured the previous week. But the changes
were not as successful as had been hoped. Armfield and Wilson held an
uncertain Scottish forward line, in which only Law was outstanding; at
centre-half, Slater was badly off form and the problem of filling the gap
caused by Billy Wright's retirement remained unsolved. The forwards also
had a poor day and seldom looked like scoring. A slip by Slater allowed
Scotland to take the lead after 16 minutes, when Leggat moved on to the
ball and scored with a fine shot from 18 yds. From a penalty-kick taken by
Charlton - a harsh decision - England equalised. Twenty-six minutes later
he took another but missed. Earlier, Flowers had hit the Scottish
cross-bar with a great drive, and a goal by Baker was disallowed.

It was on 9 April 1960
that Hendrick Verwoerd, the 58-year-old South African Prime
MInister, who did most to establish the policy of racial
segregation known as 'apartheid' in the country, including
imprisoning future president, Nelson Mandela, was shot twice
by 51-year-old David Pratt, perforating his cheek and his
right ear. Verwoerd miraculously survived and Pratt died in
prison, 18 months later, but the prime minister was
assassinated, six years later,
in parliament, when he was stabbed to death by
48-year-old Dimitri Tsafendas. |
