Review
It transpired that the Burnley goalkeeper Hillman attempted to bribe John McPherson to allow Burnley to win this match. This was their last match of the season and Burnley needed 2 points to secure safety, with Preston (3 points behind them) having a game in hand. Burnley lost 4-0 and Preston won their last two games of the season to relegate Burnley. Hillman was subsequently suspended for the whole of the following season.
