team notes: |
The team remained unchanged from that which was picked for the fateful
Ibrox match. This set of eleven players raised £19 10s. for the
Ibrox Disaster Fund.
This side equals England's oldest team thus
far.
Kelly Houlker signed for Portsmouth FC at the conclusion of
this match. |

team notes: |
The Celtic FC's George Livingstone was in the original foward
line-up. He was replaced by Ronald Orr.
Of the chosen team that
played last month, there were originally three changes (two after Orr
was recalled). Goalkeeper Ned Doig could not play as he had broken his
wrist in a club match between Sunderland and Celtic. John Campbell was
released by his country so that he could play for his club, The Celtic FC, in their Exhibition Cup Final
Match. Sandy Brown was also injured. |

Match Report |
The replayed match between
England and Scotland under Association rules was drawn on Saturday at
Birmingham, the score being two goals all. Though there was no
repetition of that general interest in the game which took the huge
crowd to Ibrox Park, Glasgow, last month, when the collapse of the stand
caused the great disaster, about 15,000 spectators were present, so that
the Ibrox Park Relief Fund, which is to receive the gross receipts,
should materially benefit. The game was to some extent spoilt by the
rain and wind ; but each side had its spell of brilliancy, and England,
after having all the worst of the early play, did so well in the second
half that they ought to have won. The Scottish defence was consistently
good, while their halves made a fine second line of attack before the
interval. England faced the wind in the first period, and never got well
together. Templeton scored in the first five minutes for Scotland, and a
quarter of an hour before change of ends got a second goal...
Settle and Wilkes each got a
goal just inside 25 minutes of restarting...
This result of two goals each
will be entered in the records of England v. Scotland in place of the
Ibrox Park match.

May, 1902
IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 2 May 1902 that the
entire northern half of the island of Martinique was covered in ash and
pumice following explosions, earthquakes and dense black smoke from
Mount Pelée. It was believed by many that they had experienced the
worst, but six days later, the side of the mountain ripped open and the
town of Saint-Pierre was destroyed in a matter of minutes, killing an
estimated 28,000 people in the worst volcanic disaster of the twentieth
century.
