notes

GH lists Thistle no.9 as “McFarlane”, the inverted commas suggesting a psuedonym trialist. DR/KRH reported that William Robertson of Kirkintilloch Rob Roy was the real identity. Scottish Cup Winners 1920/21 v FA Cup Winners 1920/21

Match Report

TTA report

The match started off at a sedate pace but ended like a cup-tie. A fine goal by Wilson (46) and Blair's low shot in the corner (50) made it 2-0 at which point Spurs got more involved. They scored (65) but Kinloch scored towards the end after a goalmouth scramble. “Exceptionally interesting” (GH).
