Vivian Woodward
Vivian Woodward enjoyed a particularly fruitful tour, getting 32 goalsin the 23 matches. An 18-man squad left Southampton on May 7 for the 17-day voyage to South Africa where they embarked on a 23-match tour, spanning nine weeks. Nine of the squad had previously played in full internationals (though one-Wright- withdrew after two games because of injury), whilst another two went on to win full caps.The tour coincided with the formation of the Union of South Africa.
