double-figure appearances) and Arthur Walters the twelfth to make seven.
Billy Moon, Harry Allen and John Goodall are the 26th-28th players to
have made four or more England appearances. 45 players have
now appeared for England for more than three times, and only eighty have done so more
than once. Six players have now played four times for the ISC: -

England's use of players in a season exceeds twenty. They have used 26
different players in the 1888-89 season alone. England's twelve
goals this year/season have come from a record eight different
goalscorers. |
