Notes

  • Match ClassificationPrior to the 1982 World Cup, Ron Greenwood still had a selection headache with lots of injuries and players returning late from their clubs. He had a squad of 32 players - ten of which needed to be trimmed - and decided to divide them in half with the probables going to Helsinki (for a game the next day), and the possibles going the Reykjavik for the B Team game, which was duly elevated to full intertnational status. "To preserve the illusion of equality between the squad" writes the Guardian, "Greenwood wants tonight's match in Iceland to be regarded as a full international with senior caps awarded to those who play." Greenwood went to Helsinki and this match was looked after by Bobby Robson.
