Notes: Suddenly during the match the back of the newly built West Terrace collapsed. Wooden terracing
was built on a steel framework and disintegrated under the pressure of the overflowing crowd
and in torrential rain. Hundreds of supporters fell up to 40 feet (12 m) to the ground below.
25 people died and 587 were injured. The tragedy occurred after 51 minutes of the match, which
was restarted 18 minutes later and played to a finish to avoid supporters exiting en masse and
crowding the area, obstructing rescue work. The match was later declared void by the two Football
Associations. However, it is included here as an unofficial match to ensure a complete historical
record.

Notes: The match was played to raise funds for the Sir Douglas Haig (head of the British Army) Base
Hospitals' Fund. The game was also called the "Munitions Workers International" because it was
organised by the Scottish Engineering and Munition Workers' Benevolent Association with support
from Celtic FC. £1,303 was raised for the fund.
James McMullan (Partick Thistle) and George Seymour (Morton) replaced Francis Cuggy (Sunderland)
and John Cook (Middlesbrough) respectively in the England team as they had to call-off at the
last minute.
Patrick Gallagher was born in Ireland and during his career he won six full caps for Ireland
against Scotland between 1920-1927. He also accepted a later invitation to play for the Scotland XI
in the 1927 Canada tour organised by the Scottish Football Association. At some time the family
changed the spelling of the surname to "Gallacher" and in the newspaper reports, etc. both surnames
were used at different times.
Morton's full name was originally registered as John Archibald Morton but changed two months later
to Allan Lauder Morton, although in the newspaper reports, etc. his forename was always listed as
Alan with a single "l".
The name of 3rd Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers FC was changed to Third Lanark AC (Athletic Club)
in June 1903, when official links with the military were severed.

Notes: This Victory International and the return match on 19th April 1919 were organised between
the Scottish FA and Irish FA to raise funds to help football to re-commence in the 1919-20
season. £1,185 was taken at the gate and £483 in the stands.
This was a record for an international with Ireland.
McNair and McMullan arrived 20 minutes late due to a train breakdown that left them stranded
at Larbert. Scotland started with nine men. Gordon initially played at right back and Miller
at left half.
Players' clubs are shown at the time of the match. Some players were playing as guests at this
time.
