Captain |

Almost certain it was Arthur Walters on this occasion,
instead of his brother, Percy - but there is doubt. The London
Times, The Sportsman, Sporting Chronicle, Alcock's
Annual 1890, Athletic News Annual 1891-92, Preston Herald
and Glasgow Herald decline to mention any England captain. In
The Field, Arthur Walters is listed as captain in the line-up, the
Athletic News reads as 'PM and AM Walters (Capt)'. But Arthur
Walters is usually no.2 in the line-up, and this publication could have
got the brothers mixed-up. Besides, The Field notes that it
was Percy who gave the post-match dinner speech, not Arthur. |
