February 1891 CE

A goal is deliberately stopped by handball on the goal line in the FA Cup quarter final in English Association football on February 14, 1891.

An indirect free kick is awarded, since the penalty kick, proposed the previous year by William McCrum, has not yet been implemented.

This event probably changes public opinion on the penalty kick, seen previously as an Irishman's motion.
