*     Gillingham had to endure a nightmare journey to Barrow for a Division 4 match on Monday October 9th 1961 but the match was abandoned when Barrow were leading 7-0. The result was allowed to stand.
Abandoned Matches

**   Financial problems saw Accrington Stanley drop out of the Football League in March 1962, the 33 League matches they had played up to that point being declared void. One of those matches was against Gillingham, the two points Gillingham gained from the 5-1 victory being deleted from the records.
 
 

 

'Well, if you really have not heard the good news, I must tell you. Loughborough beat that powerful combination, Woolwich Arsenal, by eight goals - whew! - to none. But that was not all; they had two goals disallowed, one as good a goal as ever was scored, but then we must not be too covetous, eight being pretty conclusive in all conscience'.

Part of the actual match report of the match in 1896 when Arsenal suffered what is still their record League defeat - 0-8 at Loughborough. Read the whole match report.
