Match No. 196 - Wednesday, 6th February 1935

  • Assist: Jackie Bestall. "Bastin pushed the ball out to Brook, turned his centre inside to Bestall, who held the ball while Bastin ran forward for the return pass, which he met, and Breen had not the slightest chance of saving his shot." Cliff Bastin5th of 12 goals. , 18'
  • "Bastin placed the ball out to Crooks, and, as is his usual custom, ran forward, but he could not control it. The ball ran almost to the goal-line; Bastin got it; turned towards the corner-flag; swung round, and got in a shot from an angle which mathematically ought to have been impossible." Cliff Bastin6th of 12 goals. , 70'
