England national amateur football team results (1906–1939)

This is a list of the England national amateur football team results. Between their first match in 1906 and 1939, when competitive football stopped for the Second World War, England amateurs played in over 100 official matches.[1] Throughout this period they participated in three Olympic Football Tournaments in 1908, 1912 and in 1920, winning the former two after beating Denmark in both finals.[2][3] Throughout this period they also set a 18-match unbeaten run, starting off with a 15-0 win over France on 1 November 1906 in the team's first official game, and until they were finally beaten by Denmark (1-2) 4 years later, on 5 May 1910, courtesy of a late goal from Vilhelm Wolfhagen.[4] Notable figures during these years was Vivian Woodward who scored 44 goals in just 30 official matches, including 6 hat-tricks against the likes of France (twice) and the Netherlands (twice).[5]

Although the England amateur team was not created until 1906, the first appearance of an English team containing only amateur players dates back to 21 September 1901, when they beat a German touring side, 12-0, at White Hart Lane, London.[1]
