Below are the squads for the 1958 FIFA World Cup final tournament in Sweden.
France (1), Northern Ireland (19), Scotland (6), Sweden (5) and Wales (14) had players representing foreign clubs.
For the first time, seven players (one French, five Swedish and one Welsh) were selected from clubs from nations that did not qualify for the tournament (Italy and Spain).
Head coach: Dawson Walker (officially only acting manager in place of Matt Busby, who was seriously injured in the Munich air disaster and unable to resume his duties in time for the tournament)
Some sources state that England took only 20 squad members to the 1958 tournament in Sweden, and their squad lists do not include Alan Hodgkinson or Maurice Setters. Other sources, including FIFA's official World Cup records, list 22 players on the squad and include both Hodgkinson and Setters. The likelihood is that these two players were included on the squad list submitted to FIFA but did not travel to the tournament. [2]
Each national team had to submit a squad of 22 players. All the teams included 3 goalkeepers, except Argentina, Paraguay, Scotland, Hungary and Brazil who only called two.
