Morgan-Owen and Meredith on the attack against England
Wales used 21 players in the campaign. The players were drawn from The First Division of the Football League (9), Welsh Clubs (5), The Second Division of the Football League (4), The Southern League (2), and English Amateur clubs (1).
Whereas some of the Welsh players are named as being with First Division English clubs, in some cases they were barely fringe players, notable examples being Haydn Price (he was in Aston Villa's 3rd XI when he played for Wales) and Horace Blew, who only played once for Manchester City.
Some of the Welsh players to feature in the Championship win:
Billy Lot Jones
Dickie Morris
Maddox Morgan-Owen
Leigh Richmond Roose
George Latham
Grenville Morris
Billy Meredith
