Referee is a 21 year old junior referee, better known as a media celebrity than as a football referee after he won a reality TV series in Britain.

Hugh Turner played the first three games of the 1939-40 season for Fulham. The games are not usually counted in his records as the competition was halted after 3 games and the matches declared void.

17 looks like Thiha Htet Aung to me, although he does seem to have put on a bit of weight after he moved to Thailand. So did I. Too many curries and not enough wing-bean salad, I suppose.

India DOBs

Godfrey Pereira b. Maharashta 04/07/1970 Forward

Vatta Parampath Sathyan b. Chokili 29/04/1965 Defender (I have Sathyan rather than Satyan)

8.William George-England.

1911/12 Birmingham FC-1/0.1911–12 Birmingham F.C.Club Birmingham F.C in the season 1911/12 on finished 12 place in the Division Two (2. League),not in the Division One (1. League).

Billy George was not originally registered as a player in 1911-12. He was signed by the club to be the team's trainer, and his one appearance in 1911 came about because Horace Bailey, the regular keeper, was an amateur and was unable to get time off from his work for a Monday night game. He stayed with Birmingham until World War I but was never again called into action for either the first team or the reserves. 17 goalkeepers turned out for the reserves over this period, but he wasn't used.

Fernando was given the captain's armband when he came on, as was Samooh Ali.

Or to clear things up a bit further, 6 Ahmed Aiham Moosa of Maziya, 12 Ahmed Aiham of ODI. I'd be inclined to agree about Hassan Raif.

The source, I suspect, was Sofascore. Both lineups there are wrong. I've watched some of the video and the commentator seems to only be interested in the USVI team. Turbyfield was definitely the keeper, the only other name I've heard so far is Junior Paul. His goal actually came after 15 minutes, Rodriguez equalising after 36. I'm still one short of the actual USVI lineup. I hope to get back to it after the current run of internationals, The Marshall Islands FA website promises match reports "soon", so hopefully a bit more will become obvious then.

What I have so far for the USVI is:

USVI Dylan RAMOS, Jett BLASCHKA, Quinn FARRELL, ?, Ahad SHABAZZ-HENRY, Joshua RAMOS, Matthew ROTH, Axel BARTSCH, Rakeem JOSEPH, Naqwan HENRY, Jannick LIBURD (Carmelo RODRIGUEZ 25)

It is possible that Rodriguez started, and someone else was the sub.

I have the starting lineups for Turks & Caicos - Marshall Is. but I haven't got around to watching the video yet - things have been a bit hectic recently. I'm dubious about the T&C lineup against USVI, as Fleurant and Forbes weren't in the published squad and the commentary at the start of the Marshall Islands game indicates that Turbyfield played in the first match.

16/08/25 Turks & Caicos Is 3 Marshall Is 2 Jarrell Williams Bulldog, Springdale

T&CI Sebastian TURBYFIELD, Keniel CLERVIL, Anios JEAN, Ledson JEROME, Christopher LOUISY, Mackenson CADET ©, Emmanuel MARTIN, Jeff BELJOUR, Kendly THELUSMA, Hency GEDEON, Junior PAUL

MARSHALL IS Matt PERRELLA, Patrick PHELON, Matt WEBB, Josiah BLANTON, Seth SIDLE ©, Gladius EDEJER, Zach HILL, Folliet SCHULTZ, Vinay KUMAR, Aaron ANITOK, Dave NIGRO

Neil Franklin did play for Hull City. His record can be found here.

414 Neil Franklin – On Cloud Seven

As a follow up from this last post, Dai Thomas joined Hereford United from Newport Co. in the summer of 1963 but only played 9 games before retiring.

It's certainly not the full North Korean team. They played a World Cup qualifier against Japan on the 30th of April whilst this tournament was going on.

Panama v Costa Rica 31/07/1988. I have now read two separate newspaper reports of this game, and both have Claudio Jara playing rather than mystery man Robert Grandos.

Newspaper gives the opposition as Curacao but it's a typical Neth Ant team from around then. Haven't found a report of the second game yet.
