  • "Spennymore" should read Spennymoor.

    One of the matches is indeed West Bromwich Albion v Spennymoor United. They played in a 3rd Round FA Cup match on 16 January 1937, West Brom running out as 7-1 winners.

    The other game seen, West Ham v Bolton, was played on the same day, and ended 0-0.
