England at Champion Hill

Between 1933 and 1971 Sixteen of England’s amateur international matches were played at Champion Hill. Dulwich Hamlet’s very own Cecil Murray and Edgar Kail featured in the first match versus Scotland in front of an 18,000 crowd.

Other Hamlet players to represent England at their home ground included Haydn Hill, Horace Robbins, Bill Parr, Reg Anderson and Les Brown.
