England 4-0 Turkey (1992) WCQ

England end a disappointing calendar year in good style with a 4-0 rout against Turkey at Wembley in November 1992 in a World
Cup qualifier. Paul Gascoigne scores two well-taken goals, with Alan Shearer and Stuart Pearce also on target. The visitors once more fail to score against England despite hitting the woodwork at 0-0.

I was at this match, stood right behind the goal for Shearer's header. Little did I know that 10 years later, I would meet my wife, in New York, who just happened to be Turkish, and now have lived in Turkey for 17 years! Life is weird!

I was there. Wont forget Shearer's diving header. Had a good view behind the goal.

04:53 :)) Every single Turkish fan knew Hami would shoot from there, but none of English fans did.

[@kflem80]

It was a great strike too

[@jameshunter7303]

If the core of this team had stayed fit and Taylor wasn’t so inept at choosing replacements when injuries hit, we’d have qualified for the 94 World Cup and probably done alright. Shearer, Gazza, Wright, should have had Le Tiss in there too. Taylor really fucked this era up

[@lucasm3879]

Pickaxe III What constitutes 'do alright' though? I believe England would have struggled in the '94 World Cup if they did qualify. Graham Taylor was poor for England, but the squad wasn't particularly great then. The minute they came up against a good team they would have been well beaten. Look at teams like Italy, Brazil, Holland etc - Baggio, Maldini, Romario, Bebeto, Bergkamp. England were way below that level. Gazza was always badly overweight during Taylor's reign, he was a disgrace tbh. I like Ian Wright, but he was very raw when he first came into the England squad - until Taylor's last game against San Marino, Wright had scored 1 in 14 for England. Le Tissier would never have excelled in international football - Venables and Hoddle barely gave him a sniff either. He was had a great football brain, but he was also lazy and too immobile. I really don't subscribe to the 'what if' theory of the '94 World Cup, England were nowhere near as good as the better teams in that competition. Not having English teams play in Europe from the mid 80's until '91 really set English football back. The whole culture, not just that of Taylor, was too long ball. The club sides were miles behind the top Italian teams like Milan, until United got used to the Champion's League in the mid 90's. Reaching the semi in '90 was really an anomaly for England - they lost every game at Euro '88 and were poor at Euro '92. Lineker himself said that England's squad was much poorer after '90 when Beardsley and Waddle were no longer there and Barnes had his serious injury.

[@kebabtank]

On the bright side though, I thought they had a good spirit in the team and actually played like one. I thought they were very unlucky to not qualify for USA 94, in what was a difficult group. Qualifying now is a doddle, it is not even worth watching the games.

[@lucasm3879]

kebabtank I agree that team spirit and desire wan't the problem - they were a patriotic squad and after watching the documentary I think they also liked Taylor on the whole, respected him as a person and wanted to do well for him. Like I said in my comment before, my view is that the whole tactical culture of English football at the time had fallen behind, and there was an absence of match winners available. One thing that speaks volumes to me is the goal England scored against Germany in '93 in America - it was a good passing move and in the commentary Ron Atkinson immediately says it's the best goal scored under Taylor's reign. This sums up for me that there just hadn't been much flowing progressive football played under Taylor.

[@GeordieBoy1955]

Superb fourth goal, the Turkish defence was opened up by the way Des Walker controlled the ball on the run.

[@danyoutube7491]

Yes, he took it brilliantly in his stride.

[@dazzajim]

Looking back at some of these clips, reminds you that Taylor did get them playing some great attacking football at times. Even a post-knee operation Gazza is still magic, and has more pace than people made out at the time. It’s just a shame that the likes of Waddle and Beardsley weren’t selected for squads at times when we needed to keep the ball better. A lot of good defenders got overlooked too, at a time when the foreign players hadn’t swamped us as much. He had plenty of options. You can’t argue with some of the attacking play, but jeez it was stressful to watch the games against quality teams.

[@jameshunter7303]

One of the only times during the qualification for the 94 World Cup we were able to put out our strongest side and we looked good. Taylor did himself no favours though by jettison the likes of Waddle and Beardsley and playing the likes of Palmer, Geoff Thomas, Sinton and so many others. Did he even give Le Tissier a cap?

Türk futbolunun büyük patlama yapmasının hemen arefesinde ki bir tarihe denk gelen bir maç. O dönem bir ara dönemdi. Bu maçtan bir ay önce çoğu Türk oyunculardan oluşan kadroyla Galatasaray E. Frankfurt takımını elemişti. 93 yazinda Terim yönetimindeki olimpik milli takım Cezayirde ki Akdeniz oyunlarında şampiyon olduktan sonra Türk futbolu için büyük yükselişte başlamış oldu.
