Referee (Country)
[*] at the time, players did not 'belong' exclusively to a single club but often
played for several clubs simultaneously on a regular basis; in such cases, the
clubs indicated here are (supposedly) their "main" clubs; see the notes for
the first two official matches in 1872 and 1873 for examples.
Note: "first" names listed are those under which the players were commonly known at the
time; in a substantial number of cases, these do not correspond to their official
first names (but e.g. to their "second" or "middle" names or variations thereof);
in cases where the commonly used name is uncertain, both first and second names
are given. Many thanks to Cris Freddi for information on this topic.
Prior to any official games 5 known "internationals", sometimes called the "Alcock
internationals", were played between a representative England side and a team of
Scottish exiles, all of which were based in or around London. Alcock also is alleged
to have selected the Scottish lineups! Details known are listed below and are
