Notes

The team was selected by Charles W. Alcock, Football Association secretary, although it bore the imprimatur of the entire Football Association Committee.  Alcock, a Wanderers forward, was set to captain the side himself, but a serious injury he suffered two weeks prior to the match ruled him out.  Three other original selections also became unavailable:  Morton P. Betts, Wanderers, a versatile player usually employed as a fullback or forward; Alexander Morten, Crystal Palace, goalkeeper, and T. C. Hooman, Wanderers, forward.   Maynard, Barker, Smith and Brockbank were summoned as replacements.

England halfback Frederick Patey Chappell changed his name to Frederick Brunning Maddison in 1873.  Although he played his only England international before the name change, some sources use his later name.

Some sources list England forward Arnold K. Smith's last name as Kirke-Smith.
