Absentees galore for Scotland- Renny-Tailyour with an injury sustained in the England v Scotland Rugby match (05.02.72) at The Oval, depictions of which are so often mistakenly used in Association Football histories. Kinnaird and Kirkpatrick were also out of the side.The Napoleon of Football, JC Clegg of Sheffield came into Alcock's XI. Clegg also played in the first official international 9 months later. On that occasion he complained then that the southerners ignored him. Charley Chenery of Crystal Palace was another who was in the first official England XI.
