team notes: |
Despite the Welsh victory, this was a 'scratch' side that had
undergone mass changes up until the day of the match. On the day,
Charles Jones played inside-left in place of Stan Davies, who dropped
back to right-half, with John Pullen filling the centre-half position.
For certain,
on 27 February, Charles Jones and John Pullen were added to the team. |

Match Report |
Wales beat England in the
international match at Selhurst Park yesterday by three goals to one...
Shortly before half-time Vizard
got away from a pass by Jones, and put in a centre from which Fowler
scored with a hard drive into the top corner of the net...
A free kick for a foul against
Russell was well-placed in the goal-mouth by Green, and Urwin lobbed the
ball to Walker, who headed it straight into the goal to make the scores
level. Wales soon took the lead again, however, W. Davies scoring with a
fine shot from the edge of the penalty area, after clever play on the
left wing by Jones and Vizard. From the kick-off Jones worked his way
down the field and put across a centre which Pym ran out of goal and
picked up, but he allowed L. Davies to kick the ball out of his hands,
and Fowler coolly put it into an open goal. The backs were both at fault
on this occasion, neither of them making any attempt to cover Pym after
ha had left his goal...
Though Wales fully deserved to
win on the run of the play, it can have been but seldom that an English
forward line has been so ineffective.- The Times -

1926:
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 1-0 DARLINGTON
Phillipson
6,014
(Molineux,
Wolverhampton)
Future Mayor of Wolverhampton, Tom Phillipson was in the

heights of fifteenth place.
IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 28 February
1926 that Major Henry Segrave reached 154 miles-per-hour in a Sunbeam
Tiger racing car on Ainsdale Beach at Southport. It was a test run in
preparation for his attempt on the world land-speed record. He was to
break the record at 152 mph over a recorded mile, two weeks later at the
same venue.
