definitely! Big hint: one of four, possibly footed by a certain
frontline player named Musgrove.

Much earlier...and a prize was offered by the team's captain for the first to score!

Is the name Musgrove correct or is that one of your red herrings?

Double checked: the name Musgrove is correct.

Early 20th century; modern era; but before tanks!

Only on this given occasion for sure; but they were all accustomed to the game in those days since boyhood.There is occasionally a commemorative reenactment of the game, even if it's a bit 'over the top' imho. Big hint: the item is not named for Musgrove; but for the captain.

Not stadium related at all but referred to as the Great European Cup. Here's a shot of one of the balls; sadly destroyed by fire-only one of the four remains to this day.

So is it an early trophy one is looking for such as the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy?

More of a sad remembrance than a trophy

Good! you're right on the scent! But a little later...and certainly there was no truce in effect!
