Diary

Monday, 13 May 1985 - Chelsea striker Kerry Dixon has been given a month to show Bobby Robson that he can score goals at all levels. Dixon has been named today in place of Arsenal's Paul Mariner in the 22-man  squad for England's upcoming matches over the next month. It is almost certain that he will play in one of the matches as he understudies Mark Hateley. The 6ft 13st. striker has earned his place purely because he has scored 36 First Division goals this season, as Robson has yet to see him play. But it was with some reluctance that Robson finally dispensed with Mariner, who showed in the previous match against Romania that he is just a little short on pace nowadays. Also axed is Mariner's teammate, Steve Williams, who has put cast aside by the dramatic emergence of Everton duo Peter Reid and Paul Bracewell, who were brought in as cover for Bryan Robson and Ray Wilkins. The selection of the strong Everton contingent brings added problems and if the FA Cup Final, to be played on Saturday, should go a replay on Thursday, all Everton and Manchester United players will be unavailable. That is why the manager has taken the unusual step of naming four standby players--Ricky Hill, Mick Harford, Steve Hodge, and the aforementioned Steve Williams--. There are further complications with Sampdoria and AC Milan demanding the release of Trevor Francis, Ray Wilkins and Mark Hateley for their cup competition

Saturday, 26 April 1985 - Alan Kennedy has withdrawn from the squad because of an injury.

Sunday, 27 April 1985 - The England squad meet up ahead of their clash with Romania on Wednesday. Before the squad leaves, Hateley has withdrawn, to be replaced by Luther Blissett.
