Various sources cannot decide who was captain for this
match, probably Charles Wreford-Brown, but possibly Cunliffe Gosling. Wreford-Brown was by far the oldest in an inexperienced team, but neither
Sporting Life, Manchester Guardian, North Wales
Guardian, The Times, The Field, The Sportsman,
Sporting Chronicle and Northern Whig make mention of a
captain. |
