          There were two changes to the original line-up. Felton replaced 
		  Corinthians FC's
		  
		  Baishe Bower at left-back. His amateur partner, Dulwich Hamlet 
		  FC's
		  
		  Edgar Kail was replaced at inside-right by Roberts. Billy Walker 
		  also replaced Bower as the Captain. England did finish this match 
		  with only nine men. Gibbins had to leave ten minutes before the 
		  interval because of a wrenched knee. Fox had to be withdrawn after 
		  being kicked in the face, in a scrimmage after the French scored their 
		  second goal. He was replaced by Billy 
		  Walker, although one French source states it was Roberts. |

		It was on 21 May 1925 
		that the Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen took off from Svalbard in 
		one of two seaplanes in an attempt to lead the first expedition to fly 
		to the North Pole. The planes landed 150 miles from the Pole with the 
		intention of abandoning one of them and using its fuel to continue in 
		the other, but with the Arctic summer beginning to melt some of the ice, 
		it took them over three weeks to build a runway that was solid enough to 
		take off from. The expedition was abandoned. Exhausted and emaciated 
		from the meagre rations, they arrived back in Svalbard on 16 June. 
		Twelve months later, Amundsen flew over the North Pole in an airship.
