Southfield F.C.

[4] Southfield's first recorded match was against the Lily club, at Summerfield Park, Balsall Heath, in early 1881.

[15] There was praise for the club's esprit de corps and wishes expressed that the players could use the tie to develop further.

[16] In fact the opposite seems to have happened - the club retreated to junior football and seems to have dissolved after a 13–1 defeat at Singers in 1892.

[17] Towards the end of the 1884–85 season, during a match against Aston Trafalgar at Bournbrook, one of the club's players, Charles Bache, suffered a knee to his thigh.

An inquest found the blood poisoning was a result of his footballing injury and it returned a verdict of accidental death.
