Years ago in the late forties one of the comics of the day (Beano, Dandy, Adventure, Hotspur, Wizard, Rover and the like) printed what we would call today “factoids”.

I remember reading that Queens Park football club in Scotland went for seven years without conceding a goal.

Is this true?

Unable to find an answer on the Internet I emailed Queens Park FC to pose the question.

A reply from Christine Wright of Queens Park FC replied with,
“Unfortunately I am unable to find a record of this, although it is possible it happened in the 1800’s”

Can anyone throw light on this issue?
