Annals of the Corinthian Football Club, page 159 LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. https://archive.org/details/annalscorinthia00corbgoog 31 August 2017 Match Background Sheriff of London Charity Shield#History thumb|The Aston Villa team of 1899 that won the First Division and shared the Sheriff of London Charity Shield (pictured centre) Aston Villa were the 1898–99 Football League champions for the fourth time in their history and Queen's Park of Glasgow were selected by the trophy committee as the best amateur side of the year, having defeated Corinthian twice that year (2–3 away and 4–1 at home). This was to be the only time that an amateur side other than Corinthian would contest the trophy, as well as the only game featuring a non-English side. There was initially some difficulties in arranging the match for 11 March and in February, the match was rearranged to 1 April. Aston Villa had a prior engagement on that date and had they not been able to reschedule, it was believed that Liverpool would have been a candidate to take their place in the charity shield.https://news.google.co.uk/newspapers?id=P6o-AAAAIBAJ&pg=PA10&dq=1899+aston+villa+queens+park&pg=3830,5309658&hl=en Dewar Shield date moved The Glasgow Herald 10 27 February 1899 3 August 2021 Several days before the game was originally due to be played, reports suggested that the teams had overcome their difficulties and the original match date of 11 March was back on.https://news.google.co.uk/newspapers?id=DY9EAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA9&dq=1899+aston+villa+queens+park&pg=2280,5999691&hl=en Dewar Shield to be played 11 March The Glasgow Herald 9 6 March 1899 3 August 2021 Queens Park stipulated that in the event of a draw after 30 minutes extra-time, they would not want a replay but instead to share the shield as making a second trip from Scotland to London was seen as an unnecessary inconvenience.https://news.google.co.uk/newspapers?id=-45EAAAAIBAJ&pg=PA9&dq=1899+aston+villa+queens+park&pg=5342,3918912&hl=en Association Football: Dewar Shield The Glasgow Herald 9 13 February 1899 3 August 2021 Build-up Queens Park had performed admirably against Scottish professional clubs during the season and the Glasgow Herald suggested that "there is no reason why they should not distinguish themselves equally against the Birmingham cracks", suggesting Queens Park had an excellent chance when drawing conclusions to Aston Villa's recent visit to the Ibrox stadium, where Rangers comfortably beat the visitors.
