Match Report by Mike Payne
Match Report by Norman Giller
England needed a draw to qualify for the European championship quarter-finals, Scotland a win. Martin Peters (described by Sir Alf as 'twenty years ahead of his time') produced one of his most impressive performances for England, scoring their goal with a superbly controlled swerving shot and going close on three other occasions. John Hughes headed Scotland's equaliser when Gordon Banks slipped on the treacherous surface that was a mixture of mud and ice. Charlie Cooke had a brilliant twenty-minute spell when he ran the England defence dizzy, but the Scottish strikers could not cash in on his creative work. Mike Summerbee made a quietly impressive debut, and played an important assist role in the Peters goal that stamped the passport for England play Spain in a two-legged Nations Cup quarter-final.
