The last sentence is incorrect - in 1873 only three of the Scotland players were Anglo Scots with the remaining eight coming from Scotland —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.76.124.220 ( talk) 14:12, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Note that this page is a merger of England v Scotland (1870), England v Scotland (1871) and England v Scotland (1872). See my reasons for merging at Talk:England v Scotland (1870). The merged articles may still contain some useful information that could improve this article - most notably, I think, these articles had the details of all players who appeared in these games. It is my intention to include those in this article too, but if people want to jump the gun and bring them in before I have time, that'd be great -- Pretty Green ( talk) 19:00, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
In identifying the names and details of many of the players who appeared in the pseudo-internationals, I am greatly indebted to the efforts of Andy Mitchell, without whose painstaking and thorough research for his biography of Arthur Kinnaird in particular and mid-19th century football in general, these details would have been lost in the mists of time. His contributions to various genealogical and football forums have also been invaluable. Daemonic Kangaroo ( talk) 06:11, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
"The match was 0-0 when the teams changed end at half-time - a rule that The Sporting Gazette of Saturday 12 March 1870 described as new - but Scotland took a lead through a goal by Robert Crawford after England had removed their goalkeeper."
The Robert Crawford article says that Scotland took the lead because England's goalkeeper had been told to push higher up the pitch and was caught off his line - rather than been taken off entirely. Which is right? -- 86.185.63.22 ( talk) 08:36, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
I have been able to glean little or no information from online sources and my limited personal library about the following players: Daemonic Kangaroo ( talk) 06:09, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Now identified as William Heap Bailey (1847–1926)
Now identified as Thomas Southey Baker (1848–1902)
Now identified as Thomas Nevile Carter (1851–1879)
Now identified as John Cockerell (1845–1937)
Now identified as Giulio Cowley Smith (1849–1909)
Now identified as Percy Weston (1852–1905)
The source for the correct names and biographies of the above players is Andy Mitchell's book published in 2012: First Elevens - The Birth of International Football ISBNÂ 978-1475206845. Bikeroo ( talk) 10:17, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
