Alan Mullery/Martin Peters – England 2-3 West Germany – 14/06/1970
Just 4 years after scoring the largest aim of his profession – then a West Ham participant – as England triumphed 4-2 within the 1966 World Cup Final, Martin Peters was at it once more against West Germany within the World Cup – however this time it resulted in despair. Peters had joined us in March, 1970, with Jimmy Greaves famously going the opposite technique to Upton Park. He was joined on the scoresheet by Spurs team-mate Alan Mullery, who timed his first England aim to perfection to open the scoring after 32 minutes of this World Cup quarter-final in Estadio Leon, Mexico. Peters struck on 50 minutes and England regarded set for the final 4, however West Germany levelled with objectives from Franz Beckenbauer (69) and Uwe Seeler (82) earlier than Gerd Muller (108) received it in additional time.
