Wales Vs Ireland at the Racehorse Ground, Wrexham, 1906.
Nineteen – oh – six.
Parts of the match were filmed by the Blackburn company of Mitchell and Kenyon,and is now the oldest surviving footage of an international football match.
The final score was 4-4 helping to secure the wooden spoon for Ireland in the 1906 British ‘Home’ Championship.
We just couldn’t catch a break back then.
