September 3, 1892
Key note: “If the Lancashire League clubs are all of the Higher Walton stamp they will have a lively time playing against Liverpool. Eight goals to nil is a terrible drubbing, especially when it is considered that the home left wing was upset through the absence of John Miller from the centre.” (Cricket and Football Field: September 10, 1892)
