Poland got revenge in the return game a few months later where they comfortably beat us 3-0 and Trevor Hockey was sent off - there’s a video from the same source on You Tube and the thing that took my attention was that we played in green and white. Poland qualified on the back of their home results because they also beat England 2-0 (Alan Ball was sent off if memory serves right) in a game which ended Bobby Moore’s international career I believe.
