PROBLEM: Question: How old was Reg Smith the year he capped twice and scored 2 goals for England? Passage:In the 192526 season Millwall had 11 consecutive clean sheets, a Football League record, which they hold jointly with York City and Reading. Millwall became known as a hard-fighting Cup team and competed in various memorable matches, notably defeating three-time league winners and reigning champions Huddersfield Town 31 in the third round of the 192627 FA Cup.
