Match 7. Newspaper reports conflict on who was the actual captain against Wales
on 18 January 1879.
Three reports, The Field,
The Sportsman and Football Annual give the captaincy to
goalscorer, Arthur Cursham, whilst The London Times, Athletic News
and
Bell's Life, gives it to Henry Wace. The fact that
Charles Alcock's own Football Annual lists Cursham makes us
want to favour the Notts County forward, but one can never be sure
and we will not commit ourselves with any degree of certainty.

Match 51.
Various sources cannot decide who was captain for the
match on 12 March 1894, probably Charles Wreford-Brown, but possibly
goalscorer Cunliffe Gosling. Wreford-Brown was by far the oldest in an inexperienced team, but neither
Sporting Life, Manchester Guardian, North
Wales Guardian, The Times, The Field, The Sportsman,
Sporting Chronicle, and Northern Whig make mention of a
captain.

Match 56.
The captaincy on 7 March 1896 was probably given to George Raikes, at least according to Irish Saturday Night and The Irish
Times.
The London Times gives a first captaincy to goalscorer, Gilbert Smith,
and Vaughan Lodge is also a possibility. Many other sources do
not specify any captain.
Match 57.
After extensive
research in the English and Welsh newspapers of the time and has not found
a single contemporaneous record of England's captain for 16 March 1896.
Possibly goalscorer Gilbert Smith.

Trivia:
Of the 661 British Championship goals, England Captain's were responsible
for scoring thirty of them, possibly even as much as 33 goals, depending on the
source.
Notes:
Scoring in matches as captain in a row:-
Vivian Woodward did it first, scoring six in three captaincies in a row
- 1908, and he did it again, scoring another eight in three captaincies in
1909.
Kevin Keegan, in the summer of 1979, scored four in
four. Bryan Robson then scored five goals in three captaincies in
1984. Alan Shearer, after scoring in his first two as captain, then
did three in a row in 1997. Despite his twenty goals as captain - he
never did it again, never more than two matches in a row, anyway.
Michael Owen did four in three, these were spaced out two in 2003, one
in 2004 and the last in 2005. Step forward Wayne Rooney.... who
scored six in five in 2014-15. He then did four in four in 2015.
From being awarded the armband - the history is thus:- Jack
Goodall did it first - scored two goals in his only two captaincies.
1891-94, David Jack then scored one each in his first two captaincies
in 1930. Mick Channon scored three in his first (and only) two
captaincies 1976-77. Gary Lineker scored in each of his first two
captaincies in 1990. However, David Platt managed five in his first
three in 1993. Alan Shearer scored in each of his first two in 1996,
as did Michael Owen in 2002.
Harry Kane, spans both lists, in his first
eight
captaincies in 2017-18 he scored twelve goals.
