[edit] Goalscorers against Wales

There appears to be some confusion about who scored England's goals in the match against Wales on 29 March 1886.

TheFA.com[1] and www.englandstats.com both credit the goals to George Brann, Fred Dewhurst & Andrew Amos.

www.englandfc.com supports this - see player profiles for Brann [2], Dewhurst [3] & Amos [4]

www.englandfootballonline.com, however[5], refers to Tinsley Lindley scoring in nine consecutive England matches between 13 March 1886 and 7 April 1888 which would imply that he scored in the Wales match. Also www.englandfootballonline.com does not credit Brann with any goals.[6]

Finally the match report at Gibbons, Philip (2001). Association Football in Victorian England - A History of the Game from 1863 to 1900. Upfront Publishing, 86. ISBN 1-84426-035-6.  refers to the scorers as Lindley, Dewhurst & Charles Bambridge

For the moment I have gone with the FA.com version, until I can find a definitive answer. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
