THEN & NOW ENGLAND CALL-UPS

MEN on Sunday

August 14, 2022

Welcome to Then and Now, where each week we compare images of Manchester streets, landmarks and buildings from bygone days with how they look in more recent times

THEN & NOW ENGLAND CALL-UPS

OUR main image this week shows three happy Manchester City footballers who've just learned they've been called up for the England squad after a tough training session.

The year is 1968 and the three City players taking a breather are, from left, midfield dynamo Colin Bell, striker Frances Lee and winger Mike Summerbee.

Bell won his first senior England cap in a 3-1 victory over Sweden in May 1968. His attacking play helped inspire goals for Martin Peters, Roger Hunt and Bobby Charlton of Manchester United.
