Distinctions |
Founded the International Match, and
headed the selection process for England's first 31 matches, 1872-1887.
"After another second place in the Home
Championship behind the Scots 1886/87, England finally triumphed in the
1887/88 season. The season had begun with the introduction of the
FA's new International Selection Committee and finished with outright
victory in the Home Championship for the first time. The old
selection procedure had got out of hand as upwards of 70 players would
turn up for the trials, making the process a logistical and bureaucratic
nightmare for Alcock and his team..."
