Notes

The friendly away match of 17 May 1953 against Argentina was abandoned midway through the first half because of torrential rain with both teams scoreless.  Although the teams played for only 21 minutes, the football associations of England and Argentina agreed the match should stand as a scoreless draw.  Since the F.A. records list the 1953 Argentina match as a draw, we have bowed to their official status although we believe it would have been more accurate to record it for what it was, an abandonment.  Accordingly, we have recorded the match as a scoreless draw and counted it in computing the failure to score, clean sheet, goals for and against averages and points percentage columns.
