notes
  • Olympic athlete Hermann Brügmann (also a footballer with Viborg FF) played as a guest for Aarhus. See 'Gallery' tab for photo.
  • This club is 'Aarhus FC' (1929-1938), the phoenix club of 'B 1921 Aarhus'. Tried and failed to compete with 'Aarhus Gymnastikforening' with whom they shared a stadium. Lost a play-off to reach the top flight in 1934 and went downhill from there. The club was disbanded in 1938, and the football department became part of Aarhus 1900.
  • We've translated the third goal scorer (“centre forward”) as John Simpson and the fourth scorer (“inside left”) as Johnny Ballantyne. Ballantyne had played inside left in the ten known preceding matches, and we know that he was in the touring party as he played in the Frem game 5 days earlier. We've been similarly bold in making the educated guess that the penalty kick would be taken by John Torbet, who was the automatic choice of the day.
