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. |

Match Report |
 England
beat Scotland at Hampden Park, Glasgow, on Saturday by two goals to one,
and so Ireland are the only country without any claim to the title of
Champions.England had
not won at Hampden Park since 1927, but they were expected to win this
year, and the team as a whole lived up to its reputation. The summery
weather of the earlier part of the week had disappeared, and when the
teams came out there was a grey sky and a rain that blew from end to
end. Scotland won the toss and had the wind in their favour in the first
half, and they should have scored more than a goal by half-time. It is
true that the wind is not always the advantage indicated by the
fluttering of the flags --the most highly developed footballers of all
prefer to play against it--but it does have its influence, and Scotland
in the first 45 minutes had chances which should have made the game safe
for them. The weakness was on the wings...
Had Scotland had more thrust on
the wings they would have given England a very unpleasant time ; even as
it was they soon took the lead with a goal that was symptomatic of
England's shakiness at the time. Morris, pressed by a Scottish attack
down the centre, pushed the greasy ball back to Woodley without
realizing that this goalkeeper had run out to narrow the angle. The
result was that the ball went wide of Woodley to Dougal, who had only to
tap it into an empty and inviting goal...
...after 20 minutes of the
second half had been played England equalized. A move on the English
left wing opened up the Scottish defence, and when the ball was finally
pushed out to Beasley Carabine missed his tackle and Beasley made no
kind of mistake with his shot...
England kept up their pressure
and, two minutes from the end, the splendid team spirit they had shown
gained its reward. Matthews sent across a perfectly calculated centre,
Lawton got his head to it, and Dawson had no chance at all of saving. - The Times -
Monday 17th April, 1939

HAMPDEN MATCH TO BE BROADCAST |

between the Scottish F.A. and the B.B.C. for the Scotland-England

Negotiations, which have been proceeding for two months, ended in an
amicable settlement last night. - 23 January 1939

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
