- Goalkeeper Peter Shilton equals Bobby Moore's record of 108 England caps as England record an excellent 3-0 win over Poland at Wembley in a World Cup qualifier in June 1989. It is Poland's first visit to Wembley since stopping England qualifying for the 1974 finals. But goals from Gary Lineker, John Barnes and Neil Webb ensure it is England smiling this time, repeating the score by which they beat Poland at the 1986 finals in Mexico. Includes interviews with Lineker and Bobby Robson.

I still miss Sir Bobby Robson. An absolute gentlemen.
Sad to see David Rocastle and think how his life ended way too early.
he was playing well in in the england's friendlies of this time inc against greece and the away match against Albania, the last England squad i ever rated..he did not even make the squad though, what depth did that team have..
I still prefer this Wembley to the one now. Anyone with me?
I’m with you.
I'm with you here.
RIP "Rocky" Rocastle, such a talented player, taken much to soon.
Too True.👍 ;-(
Tragic
Bryan Robson. Phenomenal player.
Lovely memories of bygone days.
Have a nice day. Thank you so much for the nice video. Enjoyed and liked of course. Greetings from your subscruber. Country Azerbaijan
A lot of quality players in that England team
Yes. Not much quality on the Polish side. 'Twas the beginning of a severe drought for them.
It is easy to forget what a good player Gary Lineker was , he wasn't just a goal scorer he could lay of the ball , run into space , drag defenders out of position ,
+John Ruby His pure positional instinct was incredible. His 'open play' is criticised because he doesn't actually do much on the ball, but to call him lazy as some have is totally untrue. He simply knew his role and knew how to keep it devestatingly simple. Just be where you are supposed to be. He got so many goals simply by standing in the correct place. Instinct.
What rubbish Lineker was an average player ..not even in the first fifty ..he was an opportunist kind of player only thinking about himself apart from Bryan Robson or Peter Beardsley..Webb and Hateley were superb .. Barnes not really in form.. England were not that good team and Bobby Robson did not do enough research but expected too much from a over rated team..our football strategy was far behind from Brazil France Argentina Germany and Italy
@@darrylfernandes4806 The key to Lineker that not many realise was he was one of the fastest players ever over about 10 to 30 yards. Howard Kendall makes this point. Which is exactly what you need as an on the shoulder number 9. Any kind of half decent run put him into space beyond a defender. He could finish too. And had his fair share of luck
@darrylfernandes4806 except when we played West Germany in the semi. We outplayed them and showed a quality hitherto unseen and never again. The only time we showed class in possession.
@@darrylfernandes4806You don't really understand much about football, dude. Lineker is easily one of the best strikers England have ever had. He was in the team to score goals and he did it in bucket loads. More importantly, he did it on the big occasions. He scored way more goals than Hateley (who can't even be talked about in the same breath) and comparisons with midfielders are trite, they're in the team to do different things. Your mentions of Bobby Robson are a straw man argument, this is a discussion about Lineker who was a quality striker who knew how to be in the right place at the right time and score goals. You really can't ask more of someone who is picked up front.
In my long time of watching England play football, until Kane, no-one was as good as Lineker. Shearer and Owen shone for a short time, Rooney woeful on the big stage, Keegan never even got to be on the biggest stage save a few minutes at the end of a Spain game.
What a fantastic squad we had back then. Proper good players. Every position had real solid quality.
The game wasn't shown live on TV. I remember listening to game on the radio. It was tense, Poland had some good chances. You have to remember that England were still recovering from a disastrous Euro '88. The team, and especially Sir Bobby had been slaughtered by the press. After only getting a draw against Sweden in the opening group game, we'd racked up back-to-back wins against Albania. This was the key game with the remaining two fixtures away to Sweden and Poland. It was a must-win game and thankfully we did just that. Lineker had a great game and really led the line. Barnes, Waddle and Beardsley providing the flair. Robson and Butcher the leadership. Neil Webb had a great game too and deserved his goal. I always liked Webb. He eventually lost his England place to a certain mr Gascoigne but he never had bad game for England in my opinion. I used to have this on VHS but lost it when we moved house. Good to watch it again. Happy days......
After Euro 88 (when England had the group from hell...it had the two finalists in the tournament in it and the Irish were very lucky to beat England, England did not lose a competitive match until the final friendly with Uruguay in 1990 before the World Cup '90' and only lost the third place playoff against Italy...a basically irrelavnt match, England were a top ten team back then...
England's press billed us as tournament favourites in 88. They completely under estimated the Dutch and the USSR. As for the Irish team you need to understand they were far from lucky in beating England. Look at the team and you'll see it was full of level 1st division players. The issue was they were supposed English and Scottish rejects. The Irish midfield was Whelan, Sheedy and Houghton. Up front they had Aldridge. At centre back they had Paul McGrath who was better than any of his English counterparts. You may now see why the Irish beat England. Bobby Robson scapegoated Tony Adams after Van Basten destroyed him. We wasn't good enough and got caught out. Italia 90 was better. Mediocre in the group stages. Out played by Belgium and rode our luck against Cameroon in the belief it's be a 3 0 walk over. Against Germany we were the better team. our luck ran out sadly. England were a good top 6/8 team. no more than that.
In 1990 they played Holland (European champions at the time and played them off the park and should have won by 3 goals, Lineker especially guilty of missed chances and a goal at the end by Pearce disallowed..yep all the group matches were dire but against Belgium, a legit goal by John Barnes was ruled out..I think if you think the Irish were the better team in 1988 you have a different memory then me..They made two chances, one of which they scored from and the other Whelan hit the bar, England had half a dozen if not more chances...Terry Butcher had been injured in the lead to Euro 88 and the defensive line lacked the experience of the 1990 team...also recall Bryan Robson was ruled out after the group stages of '90' which made England not as robust in that critical area for those matches..A loss that they could not recover from no matter how well David Platt played in his place..
1988 Barnes/Beardsley totally exhausted after brilliant domestic season. Lineker was ill with what turned out to be Hepatitis. Ireland match was a grind, Holland could have been 1-1 two late goals made it look worse than it was. Game against USSR lot of changes. That was the day Sir Bobby Robson said 'that team died that day". Dead wood cast away, Platt and Gascoigne waiting in the wings. We weren't that bad.
what an excellent right back Gary Stevens was..
Love watching an England game without that bloody band monotonously droning out the great escape.
Aside from the last WC, I think the Bobby Robson era was probably England’s best chance to win a trophy.
Easily the best squad for me since 1970...
Maybe Euro 96 was equally as good?
My first England match I ever saw. And it was on TV..
What country was it on tv? It wasn’t wasn’t broadcast live in England, only highlights at 1040 that night
I was at this game absolutely brilliant day.
Trevor Brooking was a great co-commentator.
And in a time where co-commentators didn't ramble on for 90 minutes, polluting the sound of the game. They were economical with their words and sounded good. Not like todays bores.
One of our best ever managers ! Bobby Robson !!
Fantastic team, could have won in Italy. I am an Argie, and here goes my respect anyway. Not sure what went wrong for '94, but that Gazza/Waddle midfield was incredible. Not sure why English GK always suck though 😅
Keeper should've been a goner for that on Gary! What a finish from Lineker though (let alone Barnes'ey). Good ole Webb too! Great England team here... If not one of the best.
I was in the crowd for this. It was very tense until Barnes scored the second fairly late on.
Gary Lenker were the great player always
This game wasn’t broadcast live, I remember watching the score on ceefax, we had to wait till 1040 that night to watch highlights
That goalkeeper would defo have got sent these days!
peter the great....still beating by a God in 1986
Not keen on Lineker as a person but he was a great striker.
do you know him?
@@kailashpatel1706 Peaky Blinders probably doesn't like that Lineker stands up for the minorities and is slightly left wing.
To think Lineker ended his England career one goal shy of Bobby Charlton's then England scoring record....and he has that Polish goalkeeper to blame! 🤣...how he stayed on the pitch is baffling!
lineker went down like he was hit off a juggernaut lol
Only once have Poland avoided defeat at Wembley. And we all know when that happened!
Goalie shoulda gone plus 3 match ban. Yellow card ain't justice.

Вот это была настоящая сб.Англии, а не нынешнее недоразумение. И Гари Линекер , вот был страйкер!
Barnes - Robson - Webb - Waddle. What a midfield.
+reyjusuf
Yes if you take out waddle and webb
reyjusuf And Gazza on the bench!
Take out Barnes??? Are you blind? He set up Lineker's goal and scored one himself too. Watch this video again. He didn't put a foot wrong
Barnes was an excellent player. Had he played the full game against Argentina, instead of the last twenty minutes or so, England would have reached the semis. He was floating past the Argentines and crossing when he came on. Another thing to look at - the aesthetics....players looked smart with all wearing black boots and jerseys worn inside the trousers, mostly. Compare that to today's footballers - tattoos, strange hairstyles, white, yellow, pink, red shoes, jerseys hanging out, etc.....and now you'll understand why I love the game in the old days so much more.
Chris Waddle was a great player,even better when he went to Marseille
Lineker and the gold chain 😂😂
Goalie would have been sent off today
evertonnut1 Ne should have been sent off then
Macie składy??
Can anyone explain why the Polish goalkeeper wasn't red carded for bringing Lineker down?
It should have been but the mandatory sending off order for refs came later.
This could have gone way different, Poland had some really good chances.
Almost any match could go in either direction. However, the red card should have been given to the Polish goalkeeper.
@@kodiakandgrizzlybears3787 it could...but if we r talking about red cards and GKs...1982 W Germany vs France.
@@detomasopantera1966 There have been many matches when red cards should have been given. Germany vs France is just ONE example amongst 1000+ matches.
@@kodiakandgrizzlybears3787 absolutely but that play...omg.
How in the world...today would be a straight red and probably multiple game suspension 👌
@@detomasopantera1966 Football games used to be barbaric. Yes, such matches would be game suspension. Divers such as Neymar etc. etc. should be punished as well. Activity should be banned for three years at least.
Christopher Waddle....
Poland a decent team but definitely on the slide from a few years earlier.

Ale kolejne mecze na Wembley też były fatalne i dopiero mecz w 1996 roku był inny :-(
Linek zwany Katem Polski
Exactly how England should always play - Built around a powerful spine and a generally direct and physical style but also with flair and the emphasis on fast attacks not ball retention. Play your skill players and get the ball forward to them. Cross it. Use power and direct running in midfield, don't try and over complicate it there. But also don't play long ball.
But also helps when you have the likes of Barnes and Waddle, both near peak here and fairly unplayable. You could vaguely throw the ball up to them and they both had the power, skill and confidence to get it down and dance about. Do England have players of that gravity now? Pretty much no. A lot of academy brainwashed guff. Thank god for weridos like Delli Alli and Vardy, yes both may be uncouth but they have balls and flair and we need that.
Since England went out to Iceland in the Euros and I have thought so much about England in the 1980s and god they had some good teams!!!...the '82' team did not lose a match in 90 mins, battered France won all their group matches and drew against Spain and West Germany (Samson, Wilkins, Robson, Francis Mariner), Q/F and Semi in 86 and 90 and players like Barnes, Robson, Waddle, Beardsley and Gascoigne), tell me where are the players now???
It also helps that Poland couldn't finish their chances and they were very good.
Gk should have gotten a red tho.
I disagree completely. That Northern European style of play worked in this era but won’t now. In many ways International football is a different sport. Much more cautious and oriented around ball possessions to attack and defend WITH the ball. Plus it’s hard to use an uptempo style after a gruelling season in hot summer tournaments. We need to evolve our style much like Germany have. We’re not Spain and never will be. But that’s not the plan. But we need to control games with possession better. Hopefully Mount and Fidel will help facilitate this. The thing we forget is the kids today didn’t grow up watching Robson and Ball play (I.e off the ball runners), even Gerard or Lampard. They grow up watching an iteration of Pep football. I’m very excited by the midfielders we’re producing now. We still have Alli, Bellingham etc. But now there’s guys like Smith-Rowe, Eze, Foden, Curtis Jones. Different players to the Gerard, Lampard, Hargreaves, Barry, Parker generation.
This has not aged well
Jarosław bako polska obrona w tym 😩 meczu uwaga oglądałem na bieżąco w TVP 1989.rok do analizy mecz 🏟 proponuje
You’ll never beat Des Walker !
Bravo England !

Niestety z tego skrótu wynika, że Anglicy nas zmiażdżyli i nie myślę tu o wyniku, byli bowiem o klasę lepsi. Najlepszy piłkarz meczu: Gary Lineker- nic dziwnego, że mówi się o nim kat polskiej reprezentacji. W polskiej drużynie wyróżnić można Jarosława Bako. Najgorszy piłkarz meczu to chyba Wójcicki za ten błąd przy trzeciej bramce, choć Matysik o mało tego samego nie zrobił na początku meczu :-(
+larwa85 zgadzam się z Tobą kolego , na tamte czasu nasze reprezentacja w ogóle nie istniała w tym meczu pozdrawiam .....
ale parę sytuacji mieli
no mieli, ale myślę o całokształcie "-)
@@larwa85 lazarek byl trenerem. Czasy porazek bez konca...
Dobrze, że Robson nie wziął Gascoigne bo było by jeszcze gorzej
Should have been red card!
Yeah. Standard!

Nie widziałem tu jakieś dobrej gry Anglii błędy w obronie zawaliły szkolne wnet Polski.
Back when Polish People lived in Poland and how the fuck was that keeper not sent off!!!!!!!
This might change. I'll bank on 'hard Brexit'!!
Football gives revenge, England took revenge with the elimination of 1974
