team notes: |
Jack Goodall was the original inside-right, he replaced
Blackburn
Rovers FC's
Jack Southworth at centre-forward, who had a leg injury. James Whitehead was then added
as the new inside-right.
Everton FC's
Edgar Chadwick and
Alf Milward were replaced on the left by Schofield and Spiksley.
They were needed for their club's FA Cup semi-final appearance.
Jack Reynolds had already played five times for the Irish team,
scoring once (1890-91 (two appearances and one goal against England))
This equals the oldest team England have fielded.
Confusion reigned
as to who scored the final goal. The Times and Sporting Life credit
Schofield.The Sportsman, The Field, Manchester Guardian, Liverpool
Mercury say Spiksley put in the rebound after Trainer saved
Schofield's shot. |

Match Report |
The easy victory gained by
England over Wales at Stoke-on-Trent yesterday was in keeping with
expectations. The Football Association intrusted its good name to a
purely professional side, whereas, at Birmingham, the England team which
defeated Ireland by six goals to one on the 25th ult. was wholly
amateur. Yesterday's football went much in the same way as at
Birmingham, and the result, too, was very similar. Great interest was
aroused by the game, and about 10,000 spectators assembled on the Stoke
Ground, where the turf was in excellent condition. Choice of positions
fell to England, who in the first half-time had the advantage of the
wind, and at half-past 3 Wales kicked off...
...But the Englishmen soon
drove the ball back to the visitors' end, where Spikesley scored the
first goal for England. Out of some close forward play the home eleven
again beat Trainor...
Then Goodall and Bassett got
the ball to the other end, where the latter secured the third goal for
England. He also had a considerable share in the fourth goal obtained by
Goodall. Wales strove very hard to make matters a little even, but their
efforts were not attended with success, although their backs did pretty
well in the defence. Reynolds and Schofield each scored again for
England, who were declared the winners by six goals to none.

14th March, 1893
IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 13 March 1893 that France was in the grip of a
corruption scandal that implicated 510 members of parliament in the
taking of bribes to prevent the company set up to build the Panama Canal
from collapsing because of its financial mismanagement. Only one person
was sent to prison as a result of the trial, but the whole affair caused
a severe lack of trust in French politicians.
