This team beat Oldham 13 - 2, in the Play-off Final for the League Championship, despite Oldham finishing top of the League. The attendance was 26,000.
I’ve included one of the adverts showing that highlights of the game could be seen at local picture houses, an early version of ‘Match of the day’, 100 years ago.

Does make you wonder if any film archive of games such as these still exists - somewhere.
