team notes: |
Hapgood had replaced Manchester City FC's
Sam Barkas on 27 April. Betmead was then invited
to join on 29 April, he replaced West Bromwich Albion FC's
Teddy Sandford, who had been struggling with a knee injury.
Stoke City FC's
Stanley Matthews was
also part of the original sixteen man
squad, he withdrew and his place went to Kirchen on 5 May.
Although
the team was unchanged from that which beat Norway, there were doubts
over the fitness and availability of Vic Woodley and Tom Galley. If
Woodley was unavailable, Eddie Hapgood would have replaced him in
goal, as it was, he played with his right knee bandaged up. Galley
too, spent the second half with his knee bandaged. Freddie Steele left
the field after he hurt his right foot, but he did return worse for
wear. |

 SCANDINAVIAN
TOUR
F.A. Players Numbered in
Matches
Only a few friends and relations
saw the departure yesterday [11 May] of the London group of the F.A.
team to tour Scandinavia. Among those accompanying the party were Mr.
[Stanley] F. Rous, secretary of the F.A.; Mr. [Henry] J. Huband, the
treasurer; and Mr. George Allison, manager of Arsenal. The rest of the
team joined their colleagues in the North.
Mr.
[Stanley] F. Rous said, "All the players are fit and well and looking
forward keenly to the trip. In all matches the players will be
numbered." - Yorkshire Post, Wednesday, 12 May 1937
