On 15th September 1899 a football game took place on La Sabana, still today the main park in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica between a team of Costa Rican-born players, including a Cox and a Chamberlain and a squad of "foreigners", who clearly, from the flag in the back-ground, identified as British, although there was a Swiss amongst them. In fact we have two "foreign" elevens. The first was comprised of the captain, R. Johnston, C. White, G. Riotte, the Swiss, J. Fenton, Harbottle, R. Baird, E. Jenkins, J. Philips, T. Richards, perhaps three Welshman, B. Balrein and D.White, with the reserves Dr. H. Farmer and W. Desborough and the referee, Dr. H. Pirie.
