The draw for the second round of the FA Cup preceded this match.
Only Harry Hibbs, the England goalkeeper, wore a black armband, in respect of HRH The Princess Victoria, who had died on 3 December.
The Football Association approved the flying of the swastika flag, at the home of one Europe's leading Jewish clubs. The ill-conceived gesture was designed to sustain the approval of Europe's resurgent far-right. - England Expects: James Corbett, p.60

The German team were all amateurs and did not receive payment for this match.

"The German footballers, oblivious of the excitement they have created in the T.U.C. and Jewish circles, and also the fact that they have established precedent by being the first football team to have a constant bodyguard of Scotland Yard detectives-a distinction usually reserved for Royalty and Cabinet Ministers-would all like to stay some time in England."

    Match Report

A SUPERIORITY AT HALF-BACK

England beat Germany at White Hart Lane yesterday by three goals to none. The football was naither as interesting to watch nor as perfect in technique as it might have been, but the afternoon was a great success for at least two reasons. First, the game was played throughout in the friendliest of spirit ; and, secondly, after a morning of heavy and persistent rain, the sun came out, and both the players and the spectators had far better conditions than they could have expected three or four hours before the kick-off.

Germany were fortunate in that the margin against them was not bigger, and it would be flattery to pretend otherwise...

England's one goal came when Camsell was given a pass which sent him racing through in the inside-left position, and his shot, taken from an extremely acute angle, could not be stopped...

First a movement down the left wing begun by Hapgood ended with Bastin centreing across for Camsell to head into the net, and then some splendid football by Bastin, who had worked into the centre, led up to Camsell, who had run over to the left, to return the ball to Bastin, who never looked like making a mistake with his shot. - The Times - Thursday 5th December, 1935

T.U.C. and the International Match

    "Sir John Simon, the Home Secretary, today received the deputation representing the general council of the Trades' Union Congress, who have appealed to him to prohibit the match between England and Germany at Tottenham on Wednesday.
   "Sir Walter Citrine, who headed the deputation, was accompanied by Mr J. Marchbank of the N.U.R.; Mr Charles Dukes, of the General Workers' Union; Mr J. Bromley, secretary of the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen; Mr Ebby Edwards, of the Miners' Federation; Mr W. Holmes, secretary of the Agricultural Workers' Union; Mr H. Elvin, secretary of the National Union of Clerks; and Mr W. Berry, of the Amalgamated Engineers' Union.
   "Before
meeting the Home Secretary the deputation held a meeting at Transport House, and selected Sir Walter Citrine to present their case.
   "Sir John Simon had already stated that he did not think that interference on the part of the Government was called for.
   "It is understood that the intention of forming a procession of the German supporters to march in procession to Tottenham, to which the T.U.C. strongly objected, has now been abandoned.
   "Sir John Simon, it is gathered, reiterated his view on behalf of the Government that there was no political significance to be attached to the match.
   "The T.U.C. deputation again raised the question of a procession and a possible hostile demonstration, but they were assured that there was to be no organised procession of Nazi supporters who are coming to London for the match.
   "It is understood that the Home Secretary pointed out that there was never any suggestion of a procession, but Sir Walter Citrine argued that there was evidence in the possession of the T.U.C. that this was the original intention and that if it took place there was a real danger of grave public disturbance.
   "Assurances were received that the police would take all necessary precautions to ensure that there was no public demonstration or disorder in connection with the match."

   Football Association Challenge Cup

First round replays played on 4 December 1935:

There were no shocks in the five games, with Bournemouth putting eight goals past non-league Walthamstow, and Brighton hitting six at Cheltenham, also a non-league club. Bristol Rovers beat Northampton, and Clapton Orient won at Aldershot with an extra-time winner. Folkestone beat Romford after extra time in the tie involving two non-league clubs, and earned themselves a home tie with Clapton Orient in the second round.

IN OTHER NEWS...

It was on 3 December 1935 that the King's younger sister, Princess Victoria of Wales, died at the age of 67. She never married, and her death and funeral were a terrible strain on her ailing brother, King George V, who died just seven weeks after her.
