Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
 Only a series of stunning saves by Ron Springett saved England from defeat
after they had swept to a 3-1 lead in the first half hour with goals from Ron
Flowers, Gerry Hitchens and John Connelly. Hitchens and Greaves smacked shots
against the woodwork, but England became caught in the clutches of complacency
and the Swiss staged a second-half revival that brought the best out of
Springett. The major concern for England - with the World Cup finals looming -
was that the 'Dynamic Duo' of Johnny Haynes and Bobby Robson had lost
their powers of command. Suddenly, the shadow of the selectors' axe hung
over Robson, who had given a procession of brilliant performances during the
peak moments of his 20-cap career. Now a new young player was challenging for
his place. His name: Bobby Moore.
