Arbroath Gentlemen (1885)
v
Arbroath Ladies (1921)
Of course, this mouth-watering match-up could never have actually occurred in the so-called “real” world, due in main to a thirty-five year time difference…
…howsoever…
Our infamous perma-World Record Goal holders* would all be around about their sixtieth years come those “Roaring” 20’s & If they had’ve met the Ladies at that point (…& they did have some mightily strange “charity matches” back then, as we shall hope to demonstrate…)our money (in the wholly unlikely event that we’d’ve actually had any…) would be, most certainly, on our Ladies…
Arbroath Lady…
…& on the twelfth day of September, 1885, the Arbroath-ian, so -called “Gentlemen”, managed to rack up a staggering 36 Goals against bumbling Aberdeenshire side, Bon Accord in the first round of the Scottish Cup-
A World Record from that day to this !
36-0 !
Ungentlemanly conduct…
Arbroath v Bon Accord, 1885 - The Sordid Truth…
…also starring Dundee Harp & Aberdeen Rovers…
…coming soon…
Credit, where Credit’s due, Brian…
