"Goals from George Eastham and Johnny Byrne gave England a 2-1 half-time lead and Jimmy Greaves wrapped it up in the fifty-fifth minute when he put the finishing touch to a classic five-man move down the right wing involving Milne, Thompson, Byrne and Eastham. Manchester United skipper Noel Cantwell switched from left-back to the middle of the Irish defence in a bid to control Byrne, who was at his brilliant best as he tormented his markers with subtle touches and clever changes of pace. It was not lost on the spectators jammed into Dalymount Park in Dublin that their defence was being tormented by a player with strong Irish ancestry. Tony Waiters, a lifeguard on the Blackpool beach when he was not guarding the Blackpool goal, played the first of his five England games at the back of the England defence."
