Game 14: Ireland 0-13 England
International
England achieved a record scoreline, one that still stands, when they met Ireland for the first time on 18 February 1882 at Knock Ground, Belfast. The visitors scored 13 times without reply and the game also saw the first hat-trick, two in fact, in an England international. Howard Vaughton scored five times and Arthur `Digger` Brown netted four. Unfortunately, match reports are rare and so it is almost impossible to decide who has the distinction of being England`s first hat-trick hero. Vaughton scored in the third minute but times of the goals do not exist beyond, ironically, the 13th minute.

At his club Forrest earned £1 a week. He got £1 playing for England so Blackburn didn`t pay him that week.
