[*] The Cannon side (from Tottenham) had entered the competition without being registered with the Football Association, so was ineligible to play[2]

[**] Newton Heath turned up for the match with several ineligible players, and so scratched before the game; the sides played a friendly, which ended 2-2.[3]

[***] Due to a number of their first-team being ineligible to play, Everton scratched to Rangers and played a friendly match instead, with Rangers winning 1-0[4]
