South East Asia Trip of Anglo-Indian XI 1927

Although the visitors were usually described as Calcutta in the papers, the squad contained players from all over the British Indies, including Lahore, Bombay and Rangoon. They were the first tourists to remain unbeaten in Batavia, which nagged the local football community all the more because the results of the guests had been far from impressive elsewhere, losing in Soerabaja, Malang, Semarang, Bandoeng and even Tegal. Quite a dent to the Batavian conviction that the best football in the colony was played in its capital.
