[edit] England Captaincy

There is some doubt about the captaincy for the Ireland match on 5 March 1892. www.englandfootballonline.com states:

*Match No. 45, 5 March 1892, Ireland 0 England 2 - Hockings/Radnedge is silent on the captain, while both the IFFHS and Mourant/Rollin say it was Harry B. Daft. The F.A. lists Daft as a captain in 1892 and only 1892, and it is settled that Arthur T. B. Dunn was captain in the two other matches England played that year. We have therefore gone for Daft, but, again, the matter is not free of doubt because Cris Freddi's extensive research has failed to turn up a single contemporaneous record of England's captain for the match and he has questioned whether Daft was in fact the captain. This is another of the three instances in the 1890's in which England fielded separate sides against Wales and Ireland on the same day.
