The USSR side toured Australia in November and December 1975 to play a series of six matches against the Australian national side. There was much disappointment from the Australian soccer public when it was revealed that the top players from the USSR had stayed behind to play matches in Europe. It was widely considered that the USSR team was in fact only a B side and so these matches appear in the B archive. U.S.S.R. Squad Listing
