"Walter Winterbottom's final match. Alf Ramsey watched from the stand in readiness to take over. There was a crowd of only 27,500 - the lowest to date for a Wembley international - to see England romp to a comfortable victory. Chelsea striker Bobby Tambling made his debut in the No. 11 jersey. Alan Peacock scored two goals, John Connelly one and Greaves netted the last goal of Winterbottom's reign. In the dressing-room after the match skipper Jimmy Armfield presented Walter with a set of crystal cut-glass goblets on behalf of the players. The toast was 'Walter Winterbottom, master manager.' He might have done even better had the amateur selectors left him alone to manage without interference. "
