Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
Fog caused
the first ever postponement of a Wembley international and the twenty-four
hour delay meant that Kevin Keegan had to miss the game to return to
Hamburg. Phil Thompson took over as skipper, and Kevin Reeves and Glenn
Hoddle came in for their international debuts. Dave Watson scored the
first goal when he headed in a Hoddle cross in the eighth minute, and it
was Hoddle who made his debut one to remember with the second
match-clinching goal when he side footed the ball powerfully into the net
from twenty yards in the sixty-ninth minute. Hoddle said later: 'There is
nothing to beat the satisfaction of scoring your first goal for your
country.'
