"First brothers to play for England"[edit]

Many websites repeat the statement that "Frank and Fred Forman were the first brothers to play for the same club, and indeed, became the first brothers to represent England in 1899. They also became the first brothers to both score in an International game - scoring in a game against Ireland."

Most of this statement is incorrect -

(a) Several players had appeared for the same club before the Formans, e.g. Charles Bambridge and his two brothers all played for Swifts F.C. in the late 1870s.

(b) The first brothers to play for England were Charles and William Clegg in 1872 & 1873 respectively; the first brothers to play for England in the same match were William and Herbert Rawson (March 6 1875).

(c) The first brothers to score for England in the same match were Charles and Arthur Bambridge (23 February 1884).

What is true is that the Formans were the first Professional players from the same club to represent England - Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 13:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
