Matthew Connell was in goal, there was a mainly Swedish defence plus William Jamie and a completely Scottish forward-line of William McKinnon, Alexander Boswell Thomson, John Lawson, John Paterson and William Scott. The fixture was repeated the following year and Orgrtye were to win again; this time 6:0.  

It was John Lawson who was said to be the leading organiser of the games. He is described as a textile engineer and that he might have been but his start in the trade had been much more humble and in Sweden his role might have been engineering and more. He, like Jack Shields, was also what might be called a Loudoun local boy, born in 1865 up the valley from Newmilns in Darvel, his father, a lace weaver, from the former, his mother from the latter. At five he was living between Newmilns and Galston, and in 1881 at fifteen already a lace weaver. However, he was not there in 1891, although his parents were. It has to be assumed that he was already in Sweden as in October that year in Gothenburg's Episcopalian Church, fittingly St. Andrew's, he married, not a Swedish girl but Elizabeth Wilson from Galston. He is described as a Manager of a Lace Curtain Factory. In other words he was the boss but from the same background and with the same penchant for football as his workers, a boss who a decade later would be back in Newmilns with an eight-year-old daughter, Jeanie, born in 1893 in Sweden, be living there still in 1911 with a second daughter, Scottish-born, and there again in 1921. In fact after his Swedish excursion he would live out the rest of his life in his Ayrshire valley, dying there in Newmilns in 1924 now a cotton agent and a widower, aged just 58.
