Fred Spiksley

The article says that Spiksley played one game for Corinthian F.C. against Tottenham Hotspur in 1907.

I am rather dubious about this reference. Cavallini's "History of the Corinthian Football Club" ^[1] lists every Corinthian match and player and there is no mention of Spiksley; nor did Corinthian play Tottenham in 1907, although they played them twice in 1906, winning 6-1 in October and losing 5-0 in December. As a result of the dispute with the FA, Corinthian could not play against any professional clubs from the summer of 1907 until after World War One --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 11:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adjective "Corinthian"

Does the adjective "Corinthian" stem from this team and its values, or did they name themselves on the basis of the pre-existing term? --Dweller (talk) 12:39, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See wiktionary, which doesn't help... ! --Dweller (talk) 16:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Source on archive.org

Published in 1906, this book gives the history of the Corinthians until that point. Thought if someone was to expand this article, they'd find it useful. Miyagawa (talk) 11:51, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Penalties?

Very recently, Lucy Townsend talked about "the Corinthians, a team who famously would not take a penalty because it would be ungentlemanly": http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19281103

Has anyone any information on this? If true, I feel it should be entered into the article, because it rounds off the picture of the "non-competitive"/"only for charity" nature of the club. Otto von B. (talk) 17:25, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
