              | *Question marks remain over whether 
              McKillop, or Tom Lawrie refereed the match against Ireland, 28 
              February 1885.  Five sources - The Times, The Field, 
              Bell's Life, Sporting Life, and the Athletic News name 
              Lawrie, another four - Alcock's Annual 1885, Northern Whig, 
              Belfast News-Letter, and The Sportsman name McKillop. |
