		Some textbooks name Jud 
		Harrison as the player who missed the twice taken penalty kick against Jan de Bie 
		  at an unknown time. 
		  However, no English reporters covered the match, and Dutch/Belgian 
		  reports only state the kick was taken twice, but not by whom. The name 
		  of Harrison came from a now dubious source.  |

		It was on 21 May 1921 
		that the inquest into the death of Horace McNeil of Shepherd's Bush was 
		opened. Four men had appeared at his house at 10:15 at night and asked 
		to see his son-in-law, who was in the Royal Irish Constabulary. When 
		told that he lived in Ireland, the man was shot. Out of fear, neighbours 
		refused to give evidence and the murder was one of several doorstep 
		attacks on the same night believed to have been perpetrated by Sinn 
		F�in, either by members, or supporters of the party fighting for Irish 
		independence. The murder remained unsolved.
