Trevor Whymark was a talented and enigmatic striker with a fast-emerging
Ipswich Town (he is pictured above in action for the East Anglian club a
few months prior to his call-up) when he was called up by Ron Greenwood
for the England squad which would face Luxembourg in a crucial
qualifier for the 1978 World Cup.
England were expetced to win, but
needed to do so by as considerable margin as possible against the group
whipping-boys in order to give themselves their best hope of qualifying
when pacesetters Italy visited Wembley a month later. Whymark was put on
the bench but with England struggling for potency, was sent on for
Terry McDermott to add a third striker to the set-up as England made a
final push.
The game ended 2-0, not enough, and Whymark's on-off career
with Ipswich meant he missed the FA Cup final at the end of that season
through injury, and never received another call-up by his country. (Matthew Rudd).
