A lot of early Chelsea publications included a "James Fletcher" in the line-up for this game. It has now been discovered James may not even have existed, let alone played in this game. The full line-up listed here (Fletcher replaced by Copeland), is the official line-up advised by the Football League. James Fletcher has currently been changed to a non-first-team player for now whilst we try to find out if he did really exist and if he ever actually played for Chelsea.
