it was us (and it was against Wales)

Wales, Wrexham, 24.3.76. England won 2-1

Clemence Cherry (Clement) Mills Neal Thompson Doyle

Keegan* Channon (Taylor1) Boyer Brooking Kennedy1

Highlights: Crystal Palace striker Peter Taylor became the first Third Division player capped since Johnny Byrne, then also with Palace, in 1961. Taylor came on as a substitute for Mike Channon and scored the second victory-clinching goal ten minutes from the end of a match staged to mark the centenary of the Welsh FA. An experimental England side included seven other new caps: Trevor Cherry, Phil Neal, Phil Thompson, Mike Doyle, Phil Boyer, Ray Kennedy and Dave Clement. Kennedy, one of five Liverpool players in the team, gave England the lead in the seventieth minute after a Trevor Brooking centre had been headed out. Alan Curtis scored for Wales in the last minute. Don Revie had been notorious during his career as an outstanding club manager for finding excuses to withdraw players from international duty. Now he was on the receiving end of the club v country controversy, as managers continually pulled players out of his squad at the last minute.
