It's not an Irish club.

Slightly warmer with Fortuna 54.

Ajax.

We also played another country's cup winners after winning the cup 70 years before that! 126 years ago today in fact.

Do Toulouse even have a football team? It's proper egg-chasing country down there

Yup, a Ligue 1 outfit. Back in Paris, I believe Stade Colombes is still used by a rugby team.

Are you sure it was 1887? We played Queens Park on Easter Monday 1888, in the last game we played against them. In 1887 we played them on January 1st (or rather our reserves did) then at Cathkin Park on January 3rd, when the match was abandoned after a riot.

We beat Hibs, the Scottish Cup winners, in 1887, one week after we won our first cup.

We also sort-of played Hibs and Queen's Park as, when we beat Rangers in the cup semi-final, they borrowed players from the other two pre-eminent Scottish clubs of the time. The cheating bastards.

Correct - we beat Hibs 3-0. You win a dream about us winning the cup again one day.
