penalty kick notes: |
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. |

Match Report |
|
IN OTHER NEWS...
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.
