    NB: in January 2001 (!), FIFA decided not to recognize matches against FIFA
        or continental selections as full internationals, classifying them as
        exhibition games, and scratched all caps and goals earned in these
        matches from the records.  After the French and Italian FAs refused to
        follow this ruling, the English FA eventually decided to keep these
        matches in the records as well, which is reflected in the above ranking;
        the players who would be affected are:
    
        Bobby Moore      (vs. FIFA 2-1, 23/10/1963) 
        Bobby Charlton   (vs. FIFA 2-1, 23/10/1963) 
        Billy Wright     (vs. FIFA 4-4, 21/10/1953) 
        Gordon Banks     (vs. FIFA 2-1, 23/10/1963) 
        Ray Wilson       (vs. FIFA 2-1, 23/10/1963) 
        Jimmy Greaves    (vs. FIFA 2-1, 23/10/1963) 
        Stanley Matthews (vs. FIFA 4-4, 21/10/1953 and UEFA 3-0, 26/10/1938).
