		Footballer Alex James was one of the Wembley Wizards who thrashed England 5–1 in 1928.
		A later Scottish footballer, George Young, was known as 'Corky' on account of a champagne cork he always carried—a reminder his first game against England, a 3–1 victory in 1949.
		Appropriately, the words are by a Scot, James Thomson (1700–1748), born near Kelso, and the music by a Londoner, Thomas Arne (1710–1778), who wrote the tune for Alfred: A Masque (1740).

	Alex James (footballer) at AllExperts
		After a forgettable first season, James settled into his role with Arsenal and became part of the dominant side of English football in 1930s; playing as Chapman's designated "midfield schemer", he took a little time to adjust to Arsenal's style of play, but he would become one of the club's all-time greats.
		Such was James' influence that in the one Cup final he missed â" the 1932 final against Newcastle United â" Arsenal lost 2-1, albeit thanks to a highly controversial goal from Newcastle's Jack Allen.
		James was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2005 in recognition of his contribution to the English game.

	James Lawton: What's wrong with Wayne Rooney? - Independent Online Edition > Comment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		This came on top of suggestions that Rooney was so angry with the Football Association's refusal to discard the Dutch FA's enforcement of a penalty for a red card he received in a pre-season tournament he was withdrawing his image rights - vital assets in the commercial exploitation of the national team.
		The pattern, for the moment at least, could scarcely, be more discouraging or so out of sync with the mood of those days when Rooney was dazzling most everybody who came into his path, and not least Arsène Wenger, who described him as the best young English player he had ever seen.
		At least it accords with the wisdom of the old football man Joe Mercer, who once declared: "The one thing you should always celebrate is your victory because in football you never know when the next one will come." It is stunning that, however briefly, this advice might just be worth offering Wayne Rooney.
