Diary

Tuesday, 12 April 1960 - Both the International Selection and Intermediate Selection Committees  meet at Lancaster Gate, the headquarters of the Football Association to pick the England tour party and a side to meet Young England on Cup Final eve. However, after spending two hours and forty minutes, they refused to name the players they had chosen. An FA official said: "An announcement will be made after Easter." He added that the selectors would be seeing further matches before any announcement.

Wednesday, 20 April 1960 - The 'secret' teams which the selectors picked last Tuesday are finally announced today. Many club managers speak out over the 'silliness' of the selectors, as the England tour clashes with many club tours and these clubs are losing their star players. The team and the reserves that face Yugoslavia will be the party that tours Spain and Hungary.
The Intermediate Selectors have brought in newcomers, goalkeeper David Gaskell from Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday's inside left John Fantham and Bolton Wanderer's Fred Hill. The party includes three players have have played for the senior side, Tony Allen, Peter Brabrook and Eddie Holliday.
The 34 players that have been called up have been dubbed the 'Chile Chicks' with Bobby Robson, 27, the oldest in the party.
The team that will face the England Senior side at Highbury on 6th May, Cup Final eve, is also chosen: Macedo; Angus & Allen; Setters, Labone & Miller; Brabrook, Eastham, Pointer, Fantham & Holliday; Hill is the reserve.

Thursday, 28 April 1960 - Peter Brabrook, Chelsea's outside-right, gets a surprise tour with the full England team to Spain and Hungary next month in place of John Connelly, who is to have a cartilage operation this weekend. In his place, comes Gerry Mannion. Five weeks ago, Mannion was unknown outside Wolverhampton. Then we was plunged into the Cup semi-final against Aston Villa at outside right and has featured in their League Championship chasing team ever since.
Brabrook will take Connelly's place in the Senior side against Young England, as Terry Paine comes in to take Brabrook's spot in the Young side.

Friday, 6 May 1960 - England 2 Young England 1 - "CONFIDENTLY and competently England strolled to victory in front of 34,671 satisfied customers at Highbury tonight. Joe Baker, that thrusting, livewire import from Scotland, provided the slick goals after 90 seconds and 34 minutes. That other colourful character Bobby Charlton provided the headache for the watching England selectors. The Manchester United crackshot contributed just four whizz-bang cracks at goal for his 90 minutes work. The first two flashed hopelessly over the bar. The third finished safely in the midrift of Tony Macedo, and the fourth, in the closing minutes, produced a wonder save by Macedo. But it was Charlton's lack of fire that provided the chief worry. Admittedly, the outside-left suffered from the poor service of his partner, Jimmy Greaves, but the one-time Bobby-dazzler didn't help himself either. Young England were handicapped midway through the first-half by a knock to left-back Tony Allen. A loudspeaker appeal called for Fulham's George Cohen to report to the dressing room and he replaced Allen in the second-half. But Allen was clearly struggling when Brabrook laid on Baker's second goal in the 34th minute. The Chelsea flier gave him a yard start and a beating before squaring back for Baker to flick in. The goal of the night was a magnificent header by Pointer, from Eddie Holliday's cross six minutes from the end." - Peter Lorenzo, Daily Herald.

Tuesday, 10 May 1960 - The groin injury that forced Tony Allen from the pitch against the England side at Highbury last Friday, has forced him to withdraw from the Under-23 tour party. Middlesbrough FC's Mick McNeil has been called up to take his place.

Thursday, 12 May 1960 - Young England's party left London Airport after the Yugoslav party did so and flew into Berlin today and found that they were second in terms of sporting attractions. A crowd is expected to watch the East Germans take on England in the intermediate international on Sunday. However, 24 hours later, a crowd in the region of 80,000 is expected to see the final stages of the Communist equivalent of the Tour de France cycling race. Ron Greenwood has named his team and they will begin training tomorrow, having been given the freedom of the Walter Ulbricht Stadium.

Friday, 13 May 1960 - Mick McNeil flew in from Bonn today to join his under-23 team-mates and was met by Frank Adams. McNeil was suffering with fatigue and a bruised right ankle following the summons from Middlesbrough's tour to join the Intermediate party. To give his ankle every chance, Middlesbrough kept him out of their last match. Ron Greenwood said: "McNeil's ankle is strapped up, but we are sure he will play against East Germany. In any case, we will give him a good work-out with the rest of the boys on Saturday morning."
There were timing issues with his visa and transit card that will allow McNeil to travel onto Warsaw.
The rest of the Young England team trained in the stadium with the thermometer reaching the 80s. The team were stripped to their waist, as they were joined in a practice match by Greenwood and trainer Fred Boddy, using overcoats and goalposts.

Saturday, 14 May 1960 - Sam Bolton, a Young England selector, took his first look at the hard, bumpy pitch at Walter-Ulbricht Stadium and demanded it be watered. Immediately, the German groundstaff were out with hoses and sprinklers to soak the pitch. After an hour's training session, the players were given 'take it easy' instructions by team manager, Ron Greenwood.
