(July 5, 1966, Poland 0-England 1)

1970s

The most historically important matches between the Natiosn took place in the year 1973 during the World Cup Qualifiers. By now, Poland had become ome of the best teams in Europe, while England were declining.

The first qualifier on June 6^th, 1973 at Chorzów, saw Poland win (2-0) to virtually end England’s (wearing yellow) hopes for World Cup qualification.

England’s Alan Ball was sent off, while Poland’s Lubanski was injured from a foul by England’s Roy McFarland. Lubanski’s injury ruled him out of the 1974 World Cup.

This remains Poland’s only win over England to date.

The return qualifier at Wembley on October 17^th, 1973, ended in a (1-1) tie that sealed England’s elimination. It was also the end of the road for Alf Ramsey who was replaced in the coming months after an over a decade at the helm.

The best Polish side in Histiry finished Third at the World Cup in West Germany in 1974.

1980s

It took over a decade for the sides to meet again. This time in Mexico during the 1986 World Cup. The match marked Gary Lineker’s hat trick that revived England’s hopes.

This was their first win over Poland in twenty years.

This was the only match between the Nations at a Neutral venue and at the Finals of a major Tournanent.

Three years later in 1989 the sides were grouped once more in a World Cup qualifying Group. This time the English edged ahead, Lineker scored once more in a (3-0) win at Wembley and the return leg ended in a scoreless tie and England qualified for the World Cup.
