Here's more:

He then moved to Chelsea for a fee of £50 and was made club captain. Foulke, by now was remarkably temperamental. If he thought his defenders were not trying hard enough, he would walk off the field. Opposing forwards who incurred his displeasure would be picked up and thrown bodily into his goal. He was however a great crowd puller, and Chelsea decided to exploit this.

Quality news report from two footballing centuries ago found on wikipedia:

At the end of the first match in the 1902 Cup Final Foulke protested to the officials that Southampton's equalizing goal should not have been allowed. Foulke left his dressing room unclothed and pursued the referee, Tom Kirkham, who took refuge in a broom cupboard. Foulke had to be stopped by a group of F.A. officials from wrenching the cupboard door from its hinges to reach the hapless referee.

People often take the piss now when I say I'm a Spurs fan and have been for almost forty years. Screw 'em: only non-league team top win the Cup, First to do the double in the 20th Century when it was considered virtually impossible, first to bring home a European trophy by not only beating but pulverising the previous year's winners, thus again showing what was possible and inspiring every British success in Europe thereafter. And so I say, Come on you Spurs!

good for you, but sadly you have to face reality, all the achievements you talk about, are almost as old this piece of film.

Only one of them actually. And it's the achievement of being first, not the age.
