Match Report
The Times, Monday,
13 February 1911 |
England beat Ireland at Derby
on Saturday by two goals to one.
The feature of the match was
the good display given by the Irishmen, who quite held their own up to
the interval, and, although subjected to a good deal of pressure for
some time after ends had been changed, they attacked strongly at
intervals and the England goal was frequently in danger. In marked
contrast to the purely individual work which in the past has so often
characterized Irish forwards, the two wings combined well, although the
line as a whole was not entirely satisfactory. The half-backs were not
very strong, but the two backs played a thoroughly sound game.
Although England won, the form
shown generally was not good. The great hopes entertained of the right
wing were far from being realized, and the forwards on the whole showed
little combination. The wing half-backs, too, were repeatedly beaten by
the opposing forwards, and the kicking and tackling of the backs were
poor...

It was on 11 February
1911 that 36-year-old Dr Alan Fielding of Ottery St Mary in Devon was
found dead in a Charing Cross hotel bedroom alongside a letter to the
coroner explaining that he had poisoned himself with cyanide and asked
for the inquest to be short and not to cross-examine his widow. There
was also a letter
to the hotel proprietor apologising for the adverse publicity that his
death would bring upon the hotel. The only reason given was stress
through overwork, though he was also suffering from inflammation of the
lungs and the onset of influenza. |
