Very Early Days
On this day in 1890 Royal Arsenal were at the Sports Ground (Chatham FC's ground) to play Thanet Wanderers in the Kent Senior Cup Final. After Humphrey Barbour scored twice and Harry Offer popped up with a goal the Royal's won the trophy 0-3.
At the Invicta Ground today in 1892 it was a friendly against Preston North End. Bernard Shaw, George Davie and Jack Graham all scored but it was only good enough for a 3-3 draw. Goals galore for the 10,000 spectators.
Woolwich Arsenal were at Bank Street on this date in 1897 to play Newton Heath (later Manchester United) in Division 2. A James Brock goal made it a 1-1 draw in Salford.
It was the same scoreline at Bloomfield Road today in 1899 when Ernie Cottrell scored to make it all level at 1-1 against Blackpool. Cottrell had now scored a total of 5 goals in 3 consecutive matches and was chasing Adam Haywood's record of 6 in 4.
Glossop North End had travelled from Derbyshire to Plumstead today in 1902 and left soundly beaten. John Dick and Thomas Briercliffe scored and William Gooing hit a brace for a convincing 4-0 Woolwich Arsenal win.
