Match No. 391 - Sunday, 16th May 1965

  • "The defence looked so assured as the Swedes moved the ball swiftly down the middle. Moore, harassed by Simonsson on one side, and with Larsson and Carlsson ready to pounce on the other, tried to turn the ball to Banks. He was fractionally slow about it, and Eriksson raced on to a priceless pass behind the English ranks. He scored simply, as indeed he could scarcely fail to do so." Leif Eriksson, 38'
