10-2 v Leek Town, April 7th, 1890

Just a year before Newton Heath were putting ten past us for the first time, we were hitting double figures ourselves against Leek Town. This has been a tough one to find details of, but 10-2 is another unique score.

Frank Smallman hit five, with George Shaw adding a hattrick as we strolled to the Midland League title, scoring 74 goals in 20 matches.
