Notes

Cyril Hannaby was the only Baltimore player known to have played.
Yes, that is Bobby Smith in goal. The note in a programme the following season said – “Because Bill Robertson was under operation for appendicitis, Bobby Smith kept goal in this match.”
Interestingly, Cyril Hannaby was then drafted into the Chelsea squad as emergency goalkeeper for the next match.
