The game was not the first "World Championship" game between English and Scottish sides; indeed, it was the second time Hearts had played this game.

The contest was won by Heart of Midlothian, 3–1 on aggregate.

The fact that the first leg was played by all 11 of Tottenham's cup-winning team, and nine of Hearts', indicates that it was taken seriously by both clubs.
