- ^ note that this meet is not considered to be a full international by the English Football Association, and does not appear in the records of the England team, because professional football had already been introduced in England at that meter. In the Netherlands, however, professional football was not introduced until 1954. Before then, players who left the Netherlands to turn pro in another area were banned from the national team .
