OTD E0063 — 02 Jan 1930: Eight Goals by Accident — Jimmy Dyet and the Day Records Didn’t Ask Permission

02 Jan 1930: King’s Park (Stirling) demolish Forfar Athletic 12–2 — and debutant Jimmy Dyet scores eight. The best detail comes later: he was only at Forthbank to watch his brother Gilbert, but when the centre-forward failed to appear, Dyet was talked into playing — and football history broke. We trace the match, why it turned into a rout, and what became of Dyet (including his later years in Falkirk). Tips/corrections: [email protected]
