A fact from George Brann appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 May 2008, and was viewed approximately 280 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in 1892, George Brann became only the third cricketer to score two centuries in a match, after W. G. Grace and William Lambert?

Goalscorers against Wales[edit]

There appears to be some confusion about who scored England's goals in the match against Wales on 29 March 1886.

TheFA.com[1] and www.englandstats.com both credit the goals to George Brann, Fred Dewhurst & Andrew Amos.

www.englandfc.com supports this - see player profiles for Brann [2], Dewhurst [3] & Amos [4]

www.englandfootballonline.com, however[5], refers to Tinsley Lindley scoring in nine consecutive England matches between 13 March 1886 and 7 April 1888 which would imply that he scored in the Wales match. Also www.englandfootballonline.com does not credit Brann with any goals.[6]

Finally the match report at Gibbons, Philip (2001). Association Football in Victorian England - A History of the Game from 1863 to 1900. Upfront Publishing. p. 86. ISBN 1-84426-035-6. refers to the scorers as Lindley, Dewhurst & Charles Bambridge

For the moment I have gone with the FA.com version, until I can find a definitive answer. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 06:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
