"A hat-trick from Bobby Charlton and two goals from Johnny Byrne helped England bury the Swiss under an avalanche of goals. Everton midfield dynamo Tony Kay scored in his only international appearance before the careers of both he and his former Sheffield Wednesday team-mate Peter Swan were wrecked by a bribery scandal. The sporting Swiss fans gave England a standing ovation at the end, and even poker-faced Alf Ramsey struggled to keep a smile off his face as he said, 'That was much more like it. We played with the urgency and purpose that was missing from the performance in Leipzig. All in all, this has been a most satisfactory summer tour. But there is much work still to be done.' The only surprises was that goal thief Greaves - at the peak of his powers, and six times the leading First Division marksman - failed to get on the scoresheet. But he played an assist role in four of the goals."
