Lot Description:1951 AUSTRALIA v ENGLAND: Australian tie from this series
[In 1951 an English professional team toured Australia, playing 20 games over a gruelling 10 week period. The Australian sides they met were no match for the seasoned professionals. On June 30th, in Sydney, on a water soaked ground, the Australian side suffered their worst ever loss in International football, 17-0, at the time a world record defeat. This, along with the 1997 WC Qualifying 2-2 draw with Iran, is seen as the darkest days of Australian football]. -
