Review
Played at Sociedad Sportive Argentina. Britanicos were a team made up of British players playing in Argentina at the time of the Forest tour. According to the website RSSSF, William Sherman took over in goal on the 80th minute while Harry Linacre went into defence and Charles Craig moved up into attack.
RSSSF has Tom Davies scoring of the goals that Ken Smales gave to Alf Spouncer. Seeing as Spouncer scored a second goal, I'm giving the first one to Tom Davies!
