A formidable side

by Norbert

It has to be said that the Football England selection looks like a formidable side, but I think there could be one or two changes in there.

The 'Keeper could have been either Shilts or Banksy, but it probably won't matter that much to this side.

Ray Wilson or Kenny Sansom would have been my shout for left back, although that's probably because I haven't got a clue who Eddie Hapgood was.

Dessie Walker should not be sat on the bench.
He should be either playing instead of Moore (Yes) or Franklin, or not on the bench at all.
A better bench man for that job is definitely Kevin Beattie who could be magnificent in three or four different positions.

I'm not too sure about the exclusion of Matthews.
Why not play him on the right and move Finney onto the left? Charlton can then go inside to feel inferior & play alongside his mate Edwards.

And, although it would be harsh to leave Greavesie out, how good would Beardsley be, playing just off Tommy Lawton?

And... Gerry Francis was miles better than Bryan Robson, he's going to love playing in that side.
