team notes: |
Under rain so heavy that, utterly drenched at half-time and without a
spare kit, the England men had to play in the unfamiliar colours of
Queen's Park in the second half.
Eric Brook was the original named
outside-left, but on 11 April, it was announced that he could not take
his place due to a groin injury that he obtained during Manchester
City FC's match with Bury FC. Pat Beasley replaced him a day later. |

NUMBERING OF PLAYERS IN INTERNATIONALS
ENGLAND APPROVE; SCOTLAND
DISAPPROVE |
The English Football Association yesterday received
official notification from the Scotland Football Association that they
are unable to agree to the numbering of players.
Remaining firm in their decision to number international teams, the
English Football Association will definitely adopt this course
tomorrow [11 March] when the English amateurs meet the Scottish
amateurs at Dulwich, and in the full international at Hampden Park on
April 15.
Last year neither side in the England v
Scotland match at Wembley wore numbers, the English Football
Association having bowed to the Scottish Football Association wishes
on the subject. - 10 March 1939
