Was this ever a genuine score? or just a football myth?

Has there ever been the Saturday night score announcer's all-time dream result: East Fife 5, Forfar 4? There's $20 riding on it," said Hugh McGinley.
Nearly but not quite. The Fifers visited Station Park during the 1963-64 campaign in the old Scottish Second Division and scored four. Sadly, their hosts still won, the final score being... Forfar 5, East Fife 4.

Nearly but not quite genuine.
The actual result was Forfar 5 East Fife 4 in season 63-64.

A genuine score, but it wouldn't have been announced like that, as they read the full name of the club out and so it would have been Forfar athletic

It was originally an old music hall joke.
