Drumloyal 15,025 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Not sure about 1905 but I found this from 1903/04:The club's first ever match against European opponents, however, was a friendly match against Austrian side First Vienna in the 1903–04 season during a tour of Austria and Czechoslovakia which resulted in six victories from six matches. They won the match 7–2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue68 2,497 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 We did a tour of Austria and Czechoslovakia during the 1903-1904 Season. Think we beat one of the Vienna teams of the time 8-2 or something. When i get the book i have at home to hand tomorrow i will publish games scorers etc, unless someone has the database to hand.

Fleshers Haugh 48 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 So after only 30 odd years of our club being born these 4 boys---->men were already making inroads into Europe, I honestly find this staggering. The organisation of such a task, and the money involved, especially in those days, shows me how passionate they must have been back then.I really need to read/learn more about our history from the start, not just recent decades!!4 boys had a dream Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannerall 25,935 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Had a look at their website and it is all in a strange foreign language (Danish !!!!). Be great if someone who can speak Danish or has friends in Denmark could send this info to Boldklubb in Copenhagen and see what comes back, would add to their history and possibly ours.
