Match Report
"The Scottish umpire said 'goal', the English one was just as confident that is was 'offside'. And so the hapless referee, Lord Kinnaird, was called upon. He was surrounded by the Scottish players, and Mr C. W. Alcock came running from the pavilion to render him apparently necessary succour. But the Scotsmen chased him back again, and Lord Kinnaird stated that he thought the goal was 'offside'. The consequence was that the Scotsmen were unable to settled own anymore, and before the close, either Bambridge or Mosforth put on a fifth goal for England. 'I don't know which of us it was,' he said. 'But I know they carried me off the field afterwards, so I must have played pretty well.' - Billy Mosforth - England Expects: James Corbett
