Newspaper reports of the time conflict on who was the
actual captain against Wales. Three reports, The Field,
The Sportsman and Football Annual give the captaincy to Arthur
Cursham, whilst The London Times, Athletic News and
Bell's Life, gives it to Henry Wace. The fact that Charles
Alcock's own Football Annual lists Cursham makes us favour the
Notts County forward, but one can never be sure and we will not commit
ourselves with any degree of certainty. |
