Just over three months after meeting at the World Cup finals in Spain, England and West Germany clash again in a friendly at Wembley in October 1982. Bobby Robson's first home match in charge ends in defeat, as Karl-Heinz Rummenigge scores twice before Tony Woodcock nets a late consolation. England field a largely experimental line-up, with players such as David Armstrong, Cyrille Regis and Ricky Hill winning rare caps, while young debutant Gary Mabbutt twice comes close to scoring.
