How England performed
Unbeaten in three matches, England won the 1946–47 British Home Championship with two wins and a draw, scoring 11 goals and conceding three. They had shared the previous title, in 1939.
Carter scored in the first minute of a 7–2 win over Ireland at Windsor Park, Belfast on 28 September 1946. Mannion added a hat-trick, Finney, Lawton and Langton also scored, and Lockhart struck twice for Ireland. Mannion scored twice more and Lawton once in a 3–0 win over Wales at Maine Road, Manchester in November. England then drew 1–1 with Scotland at Wembley Stadium, London on 12 April 1947, Carter cancelling out McLaren's first-half goal.
