Various sources cannot decide who was captain for this
match, probably Charles Wreford-Brown, and possibly Cunliffe Gosling.
Wreford-Brown was by far the oldest in an inexperienced team, but neither
Sporting Life, Manchester Guardian, North
Wales Guardian, The Times, The Field, The Sportsman,
Sporting Chronicle, and Northern Whig make mention of a
captain. |

The London Times
and Sporting Life say Gilbert Smith was captain, but the
Northern Whig and the Ulster Football & Cycling News say
Wreford-Brown, as does The Sportsman, Glasgow Herald, and
Manchester Guardian. The Guardian sums it up: 'Wreford-Brown,
the captain, was said to be the weak spot... but he justified his
selection.' The FA's own minutes, also confirm Wreford-Brown as
captain. |
