Chelsea FC's
Sid Bishop was the original named Captain and left-half, his place
going to Austen Campbell, after he was suffering with tonsillitis.
Tom
Cooper almost missed the match because of a leg injury, but he was
attended to and played.
Jimmy Barrett was stretchered off after he
twisted his left knee whilst taking a right-footed shot. Reports
suggest he either twisted his knee, or sprained his ankle. In fact, it
was both, he aggravated an old knee injury and suffered a fresh
sprain. |
|
records: |
This is England's first home victory in nearly four years,
since
December 1924 against Belgium. They went a record five home
matches without victory.
For the first time, England have missed
four penalty-kicks in a row |

Match Report |
.jpg) England
beat Ireland at Goodison Park yesterday by two goals to one, so
obtaining their first victory since the season before last. The English
team gave promise of becoming a powerful and efficient combination when,
most unfortunately, Barrett broke down, and, although they won on their
merits, they were not a convincing side...
Ruffell again threatened danger, and McCluggage handled in trying to
check him, the referee awarding a penalty. Dean, entrusted with the
kick, shot tremendously hard, but Scott, falling full length, saved
magnificently.
In 20
minutes, however, England went ahead. Dean took a pass by Hine and sent
the ball over to the left, where Ruffell ran in and, passing to Hulme,
left the last-named to score with Scott out of position...
Bambrick, following a corner, had a shot kicked away by Cooper, but just
afterwards, an appeal for hands being ignored by the referee, the Irish
centre-forward went through and, recovering the ball after Cooper had
tackled half-heartedly, beat Hacking with the other English players
standing still...
...but
after 32 minutes Dean got clean away and, with a low left-foot shot,
gave England the lead, which they held to the finish. - The Times -

IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 22 October
1928 that the murder trial of Chinese law student, Chung Yi Miao opened.
He was on honeymoon with his wife, Wai-Sheung Siu, the daughter of a
wealthy merchant and had strangled her in woods near the village of
Grange in the Lake District, and tried to make it look as if she had
been sexually assaulted and robbed, before returning alone to their
hotel. Her rings were found in his possession and it was reported that
he had made the fatal mistake of remarking that it was terrible that she
had been robbed, when the police had not informed him that she had been.
Two days later, he was found guilty and he was hanged, six weeks later.
