of the 1908-09 season, against Hungary on 31 May 1909.
Diary
Friday, 23 April 1909 - At the
offices of The Football Association in High Holborn, the party that will represent England on the continental tour
of Austria and Hungary in June has been chosen. Arthur
Bridgett, Bob Crompton, Jesse Pennington, Ben Warren, Billy Wedlock
and Vivian Woodward are each playing in their second
continental tours. Evelyn Lintott returns after being forced
to withdraw from the 1908 tour.
Saturday, 24 April 1909 -
"Tom Brittleton, Wednesday's
clever half-back, fell heavily in a fair and square charge
with Duffy, Bury's speedy outside-left. When Brittleton rose
it was seen something was amiss, and when he got to the
dressing room the painful discovery was made that his
collar-bone was broken. Brittleton was taken to Bury
Infirmary, where he had the broken member set, and he was able
to come home with the team after the match."
Monday, 17 May 1909 -
"The team selected to oppose Scotland last month was chosen
for the tour, but Freeman [who is touring with his club in
South America]. [Harry] Stapley was invited to fill the vacancy, but as the popular
Glossop amateur is to be married on June 9 he could not spare
the time for both tours. Captain Vivian Woodward will,
therefore, lead the attack and the elusive Fleming, who did so
well against the Scots at inside-right, will again appear in
that position. Brittleton's injury prevents him going as
reserve, and with Fleming in the team, the reserves will be
Richards (Derby County) and Halse (Manchester United)."
Wednesday, 26 May 1909 -
"The England international team left Charing-cross Station
this morning [9-0 a.m.] for a tour in Austria-Hungary. [Depart
Dover Pier 11-0 a.m., arrive Ostend Quay 3 p.m. Leave Ostend
4-46 p.m. by train de luxe with sleeping cars. The players
have gone out under the charge of Mr. J. J. Bentley, president
of the Football League, and the F.A. party will include
Messrs. D. B. Woolfall and F. J. Wall (representatives at
International Federation Congress) and G. W. Simmons."
