The game was fast and interesting from the start, and for nearly 20 minutes neither side could claim any marked advantage. Everything up to that point suggested a close and even fight, but then Scotland scored, and a great change came over the play. The Scottish side, encouraged by their success, played with fine dash and confidence, whereas the limitations of the English defence, suggested even in the early stages of the match, became more and more marked. A second goal for Scotland followed rather more than half an hour from the start, and afterwards there was never any doubt about the result...

Suggested best XI 1909-10 (2-3-5): Hardy - Bob Crompton, Pennington - Aitken, Thomson, McWilliam - Meredith, McMenemy, Sophus Nielsen, Higgins, Quinn.
Here are my nominees for this season. 23 Man Shortlist Aitken, Andrew SCO Leicester Fosse Bache, Joseph ENG Aston Villa Bennett, Alexander SCO Rangers Brownlie, James SCO Third Lanark Crompton, Robert ENG Blackburn Rovers Fleming, Harold ENG Swindon Town Hampton, Harry ENG Aston Villa Hardy, Samuel ENG Liverpool Hay, James SCO Celtic Higgins, Alexander SCO Newcastle United McConnell, English IRL The Wednesday McMenemy, James SCO Celtic McWilliam, Peter SCO Newcastle United Meredith, William WAL Manchester United Morris, Charles WAL Derby County Nielsen, Sophus DEN BK Frem Parkinson, John ENG Liverpool Pennington, Jesse ENG West Bromwich Albion Quinn, James SCO Celtic Roose, Leigh WAL Sunderland Scott, William IRL Everton Thomson, Charles SCO Sunderland Wallace, Charles ENG Aston Villa This season we once again have someone from the European Continent, Nielsen from Denmark. Maybe more players from the Danish team could be added, but the British press did not seem to take notice of the defeat of the British amateurs. Central Europe and South America is still behind the level of the British players. Top 3: 1. McMenemy, James SCO Celtic 2. Hardy, Samuel ENG Liverpool 3. Crompton, Robert ENG Blackburn Rovers McMenemy has won the Scottish League and the British Home Championship, whereas Hardy came up second in both competitions with his team. Maybe Meredith could replace Crompton. Both played well in their national teams, and collected the same number of points with their clubs in the Football League.
McMenemy deserves top spot. Hardy, Crompton and Meredith would appear to be at a similar level. Danish teams have a reasonable record against English opponents this season. The 3-0 win against league runners-up Liverpool was the most significant result. Denmark's national team inflicting a first defeat on the England Amateur XI reversed the result of the 1908 Olympic Final. As you say, the British press is still not interested. It was a lean season for British forwards. Woodward was marked out of the Ireland game by Sheffield Wednesday's McConnell, and not selected to face the Scots. His first season in the First Division saw his new team Chelsea relegated. All England's forwards played poorly against Scotland. Among the Scottish front men representing their country in the fixture, McMenemy and Quinn, the Celtic pair, enjoyed good seasons, aged 29 and 31 respectively. McMenemy was nicknamed "Napoleon" for his strategic awareness. Outside-right Bennett had a good game against England but received mixed reviews north of the border. On the other wing Bobby Templeton, now with mid-table Kilmarnock, returned for the big game after a six-year absence due to lack of alternatives. He would be replaced the following year by 34 year-old Alex Smith. Sandy Higgins of Newcastle had a consistent, rather than outstanding, year. The best forward in the Football League was still Welshman Billy Meredith, who turned 36 in July 1910.
What do you think of the non-british all-star team before WWI (1900-1914, not by seasons, but totally)? it would be interesting as "honorable mention".
An initial attempt: Domonkos (Hungary) - Buchwald (Denmark), Jorge Brown (Argentina) - N Middelboe (Denmark), De Korver (Netherlands), Berth (Denmark) - Pilat (Bohemia), Sophus Nielsen (Denmark), Piendibene (Uruguay), Schlosser (Hungary), Kosek (Bohemia)
Thanks. For shortlist 23 could add keepers Just Gobel and Sophus Hansen, defenders - Gyula Rumbold and Imre Payer, midfielders - Vilmos Kertesz and Helge Ekroth, forwards - Jan Studnicka (first austrian superstar), Gaspar Borbas, Tist Nielsen, Anton Olsen, Huug de Groot and Jan Vos. How do you think? Also Pichichi, Friedenreich and Ohaco?
An interesting list. Some of these names will need to be considered in due course. Friedenreich and Ohaco played most of their football after 1914, as did Tist Nielsen and Pichichi, although Nielsen had scored 16 goals in 8 internationals by June 1914. The Hungarian federation voted Rumbold their eighth best right-back a hundred years later, so his reputation in his own country must have endured.
For the shortlist 23 we should only add players who played particularly well in the given season. For the British players we base this on contemporary match reports, thanks to peterhrt. Unfortunately, we do not have contemporary match reports from Continental Europe, so we should select players with reputation whose team have achieved good results against British teams. This season only Copenhagen and Denmark faced and played well against top British teams. The previous seasons showed Netherlands/Austria-Hungary/South America were not yet up to the British standard. I am aware we should have more and more Continental and South American players. For the first few seasons in the early 1920s Tom Stevens in this forum usually selected around 9 British, 9 Continental European and 5 South American players. Hopefully we can do the transition to his lists, but in my opinion it was during the World War years that Continental Europe and South America became more prominent.
Buchwald and J.Brown had similar careers, both started as centreforwards being goalscorers in their countries, but in their mid-20s they became Backs, captains and leading figures in their sides. Other interesting players from the non-UK countries in the 1900s: 1st Tier: Denmark - Axel Byrval, Johannes Gandil, Oskar Norland South Africa - Hartigan 2nd Tier: Argentina - Watson Hutton Austria - Jan Studnicka Boheme - E.Benda Hungary - G.Rumbold Netherlands - Bok de Korver, K.Heitjing 3rd Tier: Belgium - Charles Cambier, Robert de Veen Brazil - Charles Miller Sweden - E.Borjesson Uruguay - Bolívar Céspedes, J.Harley 4th Tier: Spain, France, Germany, Italy, USA
