Representatives from five clubs were in attendence: Dublin University, Bohemians, Leinster Nomads, Montpelier and St. Helen's School.As per the previous lots, an official split between the Northern-IFA and Southern representatives would take place in 1921.Due to the disruption of WWI and the Irish War of Independence, the LFA had made an inital split from the IFA during 1915. This said, during the 1919/20 and 1920/21 seasons there was a brief return to all-Ireland competition. After an incident during an France vs. Ireland international in February 1921 however, involving the waving of an Irish Tricolour, both associations were pushed further apart. This culimated in a Cup match between Shelbourne and Glenavon in March 1921, when after a scoreless draw, a replay was set to be played in Dublin. The Gelnavon players expressed concerns about travelling South and the IFA requested a replay in Belfast. After refusal from Shelbourne and with backing from the LFA, the Leinster body decided to officially disafilliate. This of course would culminate in the founding of the League of Ireland and later the FAI.This historic shirt is believed worn during a Leinster representative XI match.

This medal itself comes from a yearly fixture contested between Scots and Anglo-Scots (Scottish players who played south of the border).Thomson's name will forever be associated with the tragedy that befell him during an Old Firm clash on the 5th September 1931. The match was played at Ibrox in front of 80,000 fans. Early in the 2nd half, Thomson collided with Rangers player Sam English, whilst both going for the ball. Most people assumed the goalkeeper badly injured as he was stretchered off, Chic Geatons taking his place in goal.Upon being transported to the Victoria Infirmary, Thomson would soon be pronounced dead. The death of a young goalkeeper in his prime shocked the footballing world. Beyond that, the tragic loss of a young man's life, only 22 years of age and recently engaged, still stands as amongst the most profound moments in sporting history.40,000 people attended the funeral in his home town of Cardenden, including thousands who travelled from Glasgow, many walking the 55 miles to the Fife village.
