As you will see from the game programme link below the Famous Five played in this horsing. What went wrong?

Rumour had it at the time that they'd gone down the night before and had been well entertained.Prince Philip was at the game as well.

I asked Lawrie Reilly that question at a London Hibs Burns Night. Lawrie said, if they'd all done the same as me (scored) we'd have won 11-7! Typical pugnacious Lawrie! He said it was just one of those nights. I suppose it's no different to us scoring 7 vs Man U in Gordon's testimonial game. In competitive games at that time we fared well against English teams, beating Newcastle & Spurs in the Coronation Cup & scoring 5 against Spurs in the Floodlit League.

That's a good slant on it from Lawrie
