Notes |
The Battle of Highbury.
The game was played in heavy fog and rain and the game wasn't much better. Luisito Monti had his leg broken tackling Ted Drake directly after kickoff and the remaining 10 Italians took it on themselves to knock lumps out England. Carlo Ceresoli brought down Drake in the area in the 1st minute but he saved Eric Brook's penalty. 2 minutes later Brook was on the score sheet and after 12 minutes Italy were three down. Soon afterward Edris Hapgood had his nose broken and had to leave the field for fifteen minutes, Brook broke his arm, Raymond Bowden had an ankle injury, John Barker his hand strapped whilst Drake sustained a nasty gash on the leg. ALL BEFORE HALFTIME!
Hapgood later remarked "It was the dirtiest match I've ever played in."
7 Arsenal players appeared which is still a record at full international level.
