Английская Википедия:England national amateur football team
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox National football team The England national amateur football team was the amateur representative team for England at football. It was formed in 1901,[1]Шаблон:Rp due to the growth of the professional game which meant that amateur players could no longer easily find places in the main England national team.
It was the most successful team in the British Amateur Championship, winning on 16 occasions (5 joint). The England amateur team was disbanded by The Football Association in 1974.[2]
First match and unbeaten run
Its first international match was against GermanyШаблон:Efn on 21 September 1901, a 12–0 win at White Hart Lane, London, with R. E. Foster scoring 6 (one source gives 7). It was to be another five years before an official England amateur team was founded.[3] The next match was away against France on 1 November 1906 and resulted in a 15–0 win for England, with Stanley Harris netting seven goals and Vivian Woodward four.[4] The team played many internationals against the full representative sides of Europe, which were usually a mixture of amateur and professional players.[5] The strength of the English amateur team meant they were still able to beat many of these sides and in fact they were unbeaten in 20 matches from 1906 to 1910.[6] Whilst these England amateur matches are not considered full senior internationals by The Football Association, they are deemed to be by their opponents.[6] As such, the England amateur side delivered the biggest defeats on several European nations; the Netherlands in 1907, Germany and Belgium in 1909, and Sweden & Hungary in 1912 (as Great Britain), beating them 12–2, 9–0, 11–2, 12–2 and 7–0 respectively.[7][8]
England amateurs and Great Britain Olympics team
Шаблон:MedalTop Шаблон:MedalSport Шаблон:MedalGold Шаблон:MedalGold Шаблон:MedalGold Шаблон:MedalBottom There is a difference of opinion as to whether the England amateur team was effectively the Great Britain Olympic football team at the 1908 and 1912 Olympic football tournaments. The FA's website considers the gold medals in these tournaments a win for the England amateur side rather than a British team,[9] whilst in Bryon Butler's book it is shown that the winners' certificate names England.[10] Conversely, Mark Chapman's England's Amateurs site states that the 1908 and 1912 teams were Great Britain and points to the fact that photographic evidence shows the team playing with the Union flag on their shirts.[11] It can be stated that both arguments are true, as it was the case for the 1956 Olympic tournament where the team played as Great Britain but the team was organised by the FA and consisted solely of amateur Englishmen as the other home nations withdrew their support.[11]
Demise and successors
The England amateur team was disbanded in 1974 when the Football Association abolished the distinction between amateurs and professionals, simply calling them "players".[2] A semi-professional representative team, made up of players from the National League System, now plays in its place.
