Match Report
by Norman Giller |

Jimmy Greaves and
Bobby Charlton helped themselves to hat-tricks in this World Cup qualifying
match against outclassed Luxemburg. Bobby Smith notched two, but the goal of
the game was a thundering shot from skipper Johnny Haynes. Walter Winterbottom
announced that he had got the selectors to agree that they should make as few
changes as possible as he put his faith in a settled team on the way to the
1962 World Cup finals in Chile.
