V. W. 1933-34 C.S. BASTIN, , diameter 31mm, weight 29gr., in good condition, no box with this medalWales defeated England 2-1 in this Home International Championship fixture.Traditionally the F.A. International medal is presented on international debut, as was the case with Cliff Bastin in 1931. That medal is being offered as lot 555 in this auction.It would appear that two years later Bastin commissioned a second F.A. International medal as a gift with the engraving TO ARCH FROM CLIFF. This is almost certainly Arch Matthews, relying on a report of Cliff Bastin's wedding published in the Devon and Exeter Gazette 30th June 1939: "The ceremony was attended, in addition to members of the family, by Mr. George Yeoman, the bridegroom's old schoolmaster at Ladysmith Road, Exeter, and Mr. Arch Matthews, of St Thomas [a district of Exeter]."Perhaps Matthews was Bastin's Best Man, but quite clearly a close friend from the Arsenal man's formative years in Exeter.It may be a coincidence, but perhaps the choice of match for the gift is that this International was played at Newcastle United's St James' Park, a name of football ground that is shared with Exeter City. Evidently Bastin re-acquired the medal from Matthews during or perhaps after his lifetime.

Newton Heath had progressed to the final with victories over West Manchester and Bury. Fitzsimmons scored four goals during the competition. 1892-93 was also Newton Heath's first season in the Football League Division One. They avoided relegation by beating Small Heath [Birmingham] in a play-off 'Test Match'. Fitzsimmons, having joined the club in November, scored 5 League goals during the campaign. Thomas Fitzsimmons was a Scot born at Annbank in south Ayrshire 21st October 1870. He was an outside-right and was one of several players on trial at Celtic who were seeking a replacement for Celtic's first ever goalscorer Neil McCallum. He was till a trialist when he made his League debut v Rangers at Ibrox on 24th September 1892. As such, this makes Fitzsimmons the only player in Celtic history to debut for the club in an 'Old Firm' fixture. This proved to be his only appearance for the Bhoys, although some records would suggest he played in a Glasgow Cup game before his League debut v Pollokshaws Athletic 17th September. A couple of months later he transferred to Newton Heath making his debut v Aston Villa 19th November at North Road, scoring in the 2-0 win. In all he made 30 competitive starts and scored 6 goals. In June 1894 Tommy Fitzsimmons returned to Scotland to play for his local team Annbank FC. Thomas's brother David also played for Newton Heath.
