ENGLAND CELEBRATED THE CENTENARY OF THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION recently with a 2-1 victory over a Rest of the World team. The win, which upheld a record whereby England has not been beaten by any F.I.F.A. team, was even more meritorious as England’s winning goal was scored when the team only had 10 men on the field because the captain, Jimmy Armfield, was off with cramp. The Rest team actually fielded 16 men as five players were replaced at half-time. Jimmy Greaves (pictured, number 8) is shown having a pass intended for him, intercepted by the Jugoslavian goal-keeper, Soskic. Greaves was described by the Rest team coach, Fernando Riera (Chile) as being “The English player I would most like to have in any future world team.”
