Some great Scots too - Billy Stevenson (should never have let him go) St John, Crerand, Morgan, Herd, Lochhead, Leggatt and no less than four capped ‘keepers, Bill Brown, Tommy Lawrence, Adam Blacklaw and Lawrie Leslie. That number of Scottish ‘keepers might explain the goals deluge but two of them were in winning sides, Brown of all people let in four but ‘Spurs drew and only the ageing Leslie was a loser. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that in those days forwards were allowed to shoulder charge the keeper, causing him to drop it; that may have contributed to the goal deluge too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
