team notes: |
After about ten minutes play, with England already two goals down,
Oakley and Robinson collided, with the Corinthian being worse off.
Although he resumed play, he did so with an injury.
Gilbert Smith
equals Norman Bailey's record tally of England caps, in this, the most
experienced and oldest England team thus far. |
