		The game's hero was Albert Stubbins who scored a hat trick, including a horizontally headed goal.
		An opportunity came when Liddell's free kick was driven hard and low across the box and Albert, who had been unmarked due to his position away from the goalmouth, ran and through himself at it, flying though the air like an aeroplane.
		He managed to connect and the speed of the ball meant the keeper hardly saw it rocket into the net, while Albert's heroics left him with cuts on his knees due to the frozen ground.
