Match Report
The Times, Monday,
4 April 1910 |
|
The 39th annual match between England and Scotland was
played at Hampden-park, Glasgow, on Saturday and resulted in a win for
the Scottish team by two goals to none...
The game was fast and interesting from the start, and
for nearly 20 minutes neither side could claim any marked advantage.
Everything up to that point suggested a close and even fight, but then
Scotland scored, and a great change came over the play. The Scottish
side, encouraged by their success, played with fine dash and confidence,
whereas the limitations of the English defence, suggested even in the
early stages of the match, became more and more marked. A second goal
for Scotland followed rather more than half an hour from the start, and
afterwards there was never any doubt about the result...
The attendance was estimated at 100,000, and the gate
receipts amounted to £4,417.

an aircraft that he had designed crashed into the Bay of Biscay during
an exhibition flight in which he was circling the royal palace at San
Sebastián. His wife was in the watching crowd. |
