OTD E0132 — 12 Mar 1900: Arsenal’s Revenge — The Same Opponent, the Same Extremes

12 Mar 1900: Woolwich Arsenal beat Loughborough 12-0 in Division Two — still Arsenal’s biggest league win. The twist? Loughborough had already handed Arsenal their biggest league defeat, 8-0, in 1896. This episode traces both clubs’ origins, Arsenal as the first southern Football League club, the savage 1896 match report, the abandoned Boxing Day replay, Loughborough’s collapse, and why this remains one of football’s rarest scoreline symmetries.Ideas: [email protected]
