From the 1890's....
I haven't been throwing up my hat or umbrella very much for a while
'However, ‘twas not to be, for in the last minute of the game a throw-in occurred
to the visitors, and owing to a misunderstanding between the home backs, Carr
had a clear opening and succeeded in beating Stableford with a shot the latter
had no “earthly” with.
Then followed a scene of the wildest excitement, the visiting supporters showing their
appreciation of this feat by the waving of handkerchiefs, throwing up of hats, umbrellas,
and sticks, and cheering in a hearty manner; in fact, a stranger might have thought it
was the deciding goal for the Senior Cup.
Time was then called, and the visitors retired winners of one of the most exciting
games played on the ground this season.’
What a wonderful description of the Rangers fans celebrating that last minute goal!
