team notes: |
The team was originally meant to be selected following the Welsh match
on 27 March, but the F.A. were so displeased at the English display,
that the selection was delayed for a week.
Steve Bloomer extends
his tallies with record appearances and goal scored, he has also
become England's oldest goalscorer. |

Match Report |
 The
36th meeting between England and Scotland took place on Saturday, on
the ground of the Newcastle United Club, and ended in a draw of one
goal all.
A considerable amount of
dissatisfaction arose in Scotland when the Scottish Football
Selection Committee decided to have only two players in their team
identified with Scotch club football, and more especially was this
the case in Glasgow, when for the first time in the history of the
game that city was unrepresented. As birth is the qualification for
international honours in Association football, the Association were
quite justified in selecting nine players from English clubs ; but
it is certain that if this course is carried on in the future this
match will lose much of its true international character. From the
Scottish point of view this is the great match of the year, and as
there are still a large number of first-class professionals in
Scotland, the disappointment there is quite easily understood.
Although Scotland had rather
the better of the game at Newcastle, there was not much to choose
between the sides, as England seemed rather more dangerous than
their opponents when near goal, and the point secured by Scotland
was due to Crompton, the English full back, putting the ball through
his own goal. This was two minutes after the start...
A few minutes before change of
ends Woodward passed neatly to Bloomer, and the famous forward sent
in a low hard shot from quite 25 yards out, and McBride was
completely beaten, and so, rather unexpectedly, the sides crossed
over with the score one goal all...
In international matches this
year Wales have the best record, having won two games and drawn one.
England come second with one win and two drawn games.
