Source Notes |
Although retrospectively, it is
claimed that the Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman had a hand in this tour,
there is no contemporary evidence to suggest this. The newspaper reports
state that the tour was in the hands of Arthur Kingscott, who in turn,
answered to the FA Secretary, Sir Frederick Wall, who was also a member of
the traveling party, and that the Party was trained by Derby County FC's
Laurie Edwards.
