nice one gtho4! But I concede that Bruce's answer is correct for competitive matches. However, the Irish victory was a friendly (as you know). May 24 06, 8:12 PM

If that's not what the Q is addressing (loss to a non-British team), then the first ever loss by England was on 8th March 1873 at Kennington Oval, England v Scotland 2-4. http://www.rsssf.com/tablese/eng-intres.html http://www.rsssf.com/tablese/eng-intres.html">http://www.rsssf.com/tablese/eng-intres.html May 24 06, 8:14 PM
