Match Report |
The powerful professional team
representative of England at Derby on Saturday gained a brilliant
victory. Their football was well appreciated by a large crowd of people,
which had assembled in spite of bad weather. Both forward and behind the
superiority of the Englishmen was very marked. John Goodall, the
international player, played particularly well, and was strongly
supported by the wings. After a well-made corner the opening goal was
kicked by Bloomer in the first few minutes ; the same player quickly
added a second, and in less than a quarter of an hour a third came from
Beckton. England still attacked strongly, and goals by Bassett and
Howell enabled them to cross over with a lead of five. The character of
the game did not subsequently vary, and a heavy score was run up.
Goodall kicked two more goals and Beckton and Bloomer one each, the
victory being with England by nine goals to none.
- The Times - Monday 11th March, 1895Ireland's William 'Beg' Sherrard would die on 9 October 1895, he
took ill with influenza. He was only 23 years old. He would play in
all three of Ireland's games in 1895, scoring their solitary goal in
the Scotland defeat.
