Saturday, February 22 – 1896
Everton, the Liverpool Echo says have secured Davie McDonald, an exceedingly promising forward. McDonald was one of those players who declined to accept the reduced terms recently introduced by his committee, and as a consequence was struck off the pay sheet.
On Monday the Dundee committee granted him his papers free, when he at once signed for Everton. McDonald has undoubted abilities as a player, and, although somewhat deficient in physique, has the rather scare qualification of an excellent head for the game.
Mr. Richard Molyneux was in Dundee last Saturday, yet very few of the club officials seen to have discovered the fact until – well, too late.
