That is interesting, I wonder why it doesn't appear in the official records? This website has it down as an unofficial international, wonder if that has anything to do with it?

I know that the Canadian team later went down to play South Wales in Cardiff after John Taylor- secretary to WFA wrote to the Cardiff Association. I can only presume that as Canada was not part of the Home International pact, they were not deemed to be an official national club, and I presume at that time, true international matches against non British countries had really not really been thought of much due to cost, as there is a lot in the newspapers at that time about trying to find money for international matches.

Re: The sad case of a founding members and player of Wrexham Football Club
He did Mr W: and what I posted was just a part of it. I think he was also president of Fox and hounds Athletics club, who also had a football team which played against WAFC. Seems to have been a self made man, who gave much of his life to WAFC, for whom he was an instrumental figure in its founding and who he seems to have had a passion about for the rest of his life.
