The anticipation is kicking in with only one week to go for the Malta vs. England match that will be held this Friday 14th June.

To commemorate this event, the Department of Information in Malta took to social media to post a throwback video of a similar game that took place way back in 1971.

The game was part of the Europa Cup qualifications of 1972. England won this particular game with a score of 1-0.
