Rachel Sweet - Pin A Medal On Mary

On this day in 1910 Arbroath played a friendly against Dundee & District Junior League side Forthill Athletic. What intrigued me about the game was the venue, Station Park, Barnhill as I can’t recall ever reading about the existence of that ground. Had always assumed they must have played somewhere in Forthill. I knew a Dundee to Forfar railway had passed through Barnhill. Found a picture of Forthill Athletic on the SJFA web site. It’s from a few years earlier than the Arbroath game but a Charles Stewart is listed in the line-up for the Arbroath game and the photo has a C.Stewart (captain), front row holding the ball. No idea if it’s the same player. Forthill Athletic had a player, John Slavin, who signed for Raith Rovers in 1922 and was transferred to Hearts in 1925. He was a centre forward who played 29 League games and 2 Scottish Cup games over 2 seasons, scoring 7 goals in the League. He also had loan spells with Forfar Athletic and Arbroath He moved to the USA in 1927 and was playing until at least 1945 according to his London Hearts page. The John Slavin picture is from Arbroath Archive. https://www.arbroatharchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=3042 https://www.londonhearts.com/scores/newplayers/h00990.html
