Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
Chelsea winger Peter Brabrook came in for his
debut along with Wolves inside-forward Peter Broadbent, but Bobby Charlton
was left kicking his heels on the touchline. Brabrook almost became an
instant hero with a shot that struck the Russian post and then bounced
into Yashin's hands. In the second-half he had a goal disallowed before
the Russians scored the winning goal when Ilyin's shot went in off a post
to put England out of the World Cup. When England arrived back in London,
Walter Winterbottom was met at the airport by his young son, Alan, who
asked the question on the lips of thousands of football fans: "Daddy, why
didn't you play Bobby Charlton?"
