'England will be breaking new ground in postwar football when they visit Bucharest to play Rumania', says Kenneth Wolstenholme.
'Only once previously in the history of the game has England played Rumania and that was in one of the last international matches before the Second World War, when England won 2-0. Rumania may seem a surprising choice for this international, but Sir Alf Ramsey wants the England team to have experience of all types of opposition before the World Cup, which is less than two years away, and Rumania will provide just the type of opposition which could upset even the best of sides. Consistency may not be their strong point, but when they are on their game they can turn out some tremendous performances, especially in their own country. They play the sort of strong, hard football which characterises our game as well as the game in countries such as Germany and Yugoslavia. So Sir Alf Ramsey could hardly have chosen a tougher first international of the season for his England team'.
