seven appearances and George Hilsdon is the 57th to have made five.
Jimmy Windridge is the 85th to have made four appearances, and Arthur
Bridgett is the 124th to have made three, and now 194 players have done so more than once.
Crompton is the xth player to make eighteen appearances under the
guidance of the ISC whereas Woodward is the x player to make
thirteen. |
|
goalscoring notes: |
Vivian Woodward is the sixth different player to have
scored eleven England goals.
Jimmy Windridge is the twentieth
England player to have scored four-or-more goals. He is also the first
player to score a non-competive goal since Nevil Cobbold. |
|
records: |
With the beginnings of a continental
tour, this is the first time England have played four matches in a
season. It is also the first time time they have played four away
matches in a row, spending a record 112 days on the road.
It is 9219 days since England last played a friendly
match,
against Scotland in March 1883. This is their twentieth friendly
match (W 8 - D 2 - L 10), and first
against foreign opposition. |
