Notes

The demise of the Rous Cup following the 1989 edition meant that, outside wartime, the 1989-1990 season was the first since international play began in 1872 in which England did not meet Scotland in an official international match.  While 1990 was a busy World Cup year, the series with Scotland did not resume the following year.  Instead, The Football Association launched the England Challenge Cup, which was contested only once.
