notes

All 3 opponents in our May 1947 tour were described in AFT as “trial” national teams. Thistle history book refers to the team as “Fredrikstad” which relates to the location. Attendance and goalscorers from AFT. Man of the match, according to AFT, was Adam Forsyth - for the second tour game in a row. OH has Jimmy Walker 2 goals and says nothing of the others. AFT (with which the OH concurs for both of the other tour games) says 3 for Jimmy Walker and 1 o.g. and that seems like the best bet here.
