team notes:

 Vivian Woodward came straight from captaining the England Amateur side against Switzerland and France.

appearance notes:

 Bob Crompton & Ben Warren are the first players to make seventeen consecutive appearances.

records:

 This victory creates a new record of seven away victories in a row.
Ákos Késmárky's 44th minute goal ended England's sequence of not conceding any goals - lasting a record 506 minutes. It also ended Sam Hardy's clean sheet record, ending at 377 minutes.
This is the first time England have won all four of their opening four matches of the season.

It was on 30 May 1909 that six men drowned at 1 a.m. in Stornoway Harbour in the Western Isles. A local watchman was ferrying three fishermen to their boats. Another six men boarded his small boat from another craft and it began to take on water. Before they could turn around, it sank, and with most wearing heavy clothes and boots, six of the ten, including the sixty-year-old watchman, tragically lost their lives, just yards from the shore.
