"INTERNATIONAL REFEREE ASSAULTED
"Just before the close of the
International match at Belfast on Saturday between Scotland and
Ireland, a crowd of young fellows broke into the field of play, and
referee Lewis, of Blackburn, remonstrating he was struck twice and
kicked by some members of the unruly mob. Subsequently Mr. Lewis,
alluding to the regrettable incident, stated he would have the
matter brought under the notice of the football authorities. Mr.
Wightman, of the Irish Football Association committee, expressed
regret at the occurrence, which he said, would be fully inquired
into." - The Sporting Life, Monday, 28 March 1898
"INTERNATIONAL REFEREE MOBBED
"Interviewed yesterday at Blackburn, Mr. Lewis confirmed the
statement as to being mobbed at the conclusion of the game. He was
returning to the dressing-room, when he was struck violently behind
the ear, and on turning to discover his assailant he received a
second blow on the head from a man whom he immediately seized, but
who got away before the police could be summoned."
- The Liverpool Daily Echo, Tuesday, 29 March 1898 |
