team notes: |
Huddersfield Town FC goalkeeper
Teddy Taylor was in the original line-up, he was replaced by
Mitchell. The original right-back was Liverpool FC's
Tommy Lucas, his place going to Cresswell, and so
England fielded eleven players from eleven different 'northern' clubs. |

Match Report |
 England
won the first international match of the season yesterday when they beat
Ireland at Goodison Park, Liverpool, by three goals to one.
England played sound football
under conditions which favoured accuracy of footwork, and they
thoroughly deserved their success...
It was the combination of the
right wing that produced the first two goals, which were scored just
before a quarter of an hour had passed in each half. The second proved
the value of dribbling to beat the defence before making the low pass to
the centre-forward. Kelly obtained the first goal, and his low pass left
Bedford a clear opening with the goalkeeper beaten, while the third came
from a variation to the open game, Tunstall passing right across for
Walker to head through...
Gillespie, the veteran captain,
who headed through from Toner's centre, once more stood out as the best
Irish forward.

Football League |
Division Three
matches played on 22 October 1924:
BOURNEMOUTH & BOSCOMBE ATHLETIC 2-0 BRENTFORD
Leitch,
Readman
3,000 (Dean Court, Bournemouth)
GILLINGHAM 1-0 MILLWALL
Hall
5,000 (Priestfield Road,
Gillingham)
It was
only Gillingham's sixth goal in eleven games and it wasn't enough to
lift them off the bottom of the table, but they would recover to finish
in mid-table. Plymouth Argyle led the southern section by two points
from Swindon Town and Bristol City, and had played a game fewer than
each of them.

IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 22 October 1924
that a fifty-thousand-year old mammoth tusk was sold for just £9 at a
London auction. It was one of a number of tusks found in Siberia being
sold by the Russian government, but they discovered that fresh ivory was
more valuable.
