Innes made his full All Whites debut in a 1–2 loss to Australia on 9 June 1923[2] and ended his international playing career with seven A-international caps and one goal to his credit,[1][3] his final cap an appearance in a 0–10 loss to Australia on 11 July 1936.[2] Although New Zealand have been beaten by more in unofficial matches, notably England Amateurs in 1937 and Manchester United in 1967, it remains New Zealand's heaviest defeat in official internationals.[4]
