This is the Club official site

Dave Watson according to that. But he didn't play in that game, and the lineup according to Toffeeweb doesn't record who the captain was. So I couldn't tell you

Correction - Peter Farrell not T E Jones.

Oh just a lad called Allan Ball. lol

Damn, sorry all that should have been Alan Ball, sausage fingers on a kindle doesn't work.

Some confusion between 'club captains' and individual 'team captains' maybe?

Looks like mate.
Could have covered injuries etc.
The armband seems to get passed around every game nowadays.

My old fella who still has his season ticket first skipper was Peter Farrell!!

Same as me 1948, Peter Farrell versus Arsenal-although later on that year, the next season, I think Alec Stevenson was captain in the Derby game when we had our record attendance of over 78,000.
