    Match Report

The German football team visited Manchester yesterday. On the ground of the City Club at Hyde Road they met an eleven of English professional players, and they were beaten by ten goals to none. There is nothing to be said in mitigation of their failure. It correctly represents the wide difference in the attainments of the eleven German players and those of the eleven chosen as representative of the paid players of the English Football Association. At Tottenham the Germans were handicapped, it was said, by slippery ground. Yesterday at Hyde Road the surface was so dry that the top dressing rose like dust disturbed by sliding boots. Dry though it was, the Germans never made an attempt to prove their reported liking for a fast game. As a matter of fact they took thing rather leisurely, and if theirs is to be taken as representative German football one may safely conclude that abroad they have yet to learn what, in another connection, is here called "the rigour of the game." Yesterday it appeared to be such an easy matter for the Englishmen to play tricks with their rivals...

Calvey and Smith each scored one goal and Woolridge two goals before the interval. Bloomer and Woolridge each scored twice after the interval, and Wharton and Calvey each once. - The Manchester Guardian - Thursday 26th September, 1901
