On this day in 1895, Manchester United, then going by the name Newton Heath, beat Walsall Town Swifts 14-0 with nine of the goals coming from Joe Cassidy.
Newton Heath’s impressive feat was dealt with a blow however as the Second Division fixture was scrapped after Swifts lodged a complaint protesting the state of the pitch. A replay had to be scheduled to play the tie again. The Mancunians, although not as impressive as in the first match, still won 9-0 and Cassidy scored just six goals.
