He earned six caps for England between 1880 and 1883.[2] Nicknamed the 'Little Pilgrim' by the press,[3] Swepstone has the dubious distinction of conceding 18 goals in just six international matches as England goalkeeper, despite keeping two clean sheets, after making his debut in a 5–4 defeat to Scotland at Hampden Park.[1][4]
Swepstone was a founder-member of the famous amateur team Corinthian,[5] established in 1882, and is credited as suggesting the team's name.[4]
